Default Sick EB- SETTING A NEW STANDARD FOR ESERIES.

Hey everyone.

I have been in the e-series owners club for a fair while not but just managed to get the stickers within the last month.

My EB2 was my grandfather’s car, which he had got after a trade in for his mint condition XB Coupe GS, Vinal roof, Alpha Red (respray) ECT.
I loved my grandfathers EB and I always said to him that it would be my car.

Sadly he passed away and his car went to my uncle (he only had one car). After about 2 months my father wrote off his Gemini and I then took position of it for my father to drive as his daily.

Since I took position of it, it has had mostly cosmetic upgrades and repairs. After saving for a whole year of saving (maccas doesn’t pay that much) I purchased my Koya Octane Chromes 18X8 rims off a forum member. To my disappointment after that my dad decided to install a gas tank in my boot taking up precious sub space. But I saw the reasoning behind it and I eventually got over it. After that I had my springs reset and shock and struts replaced. I installed my under-seat neon’s and that saw the start of the electrical changes to my car.

Living in Thomastown I had to have a sound system or it just did not fit the picture. I installed my head unit. My front speakers, back speakers, amp and sub. This was all done at home by me. After purchasing my system and getting it working I wanted to take it a step further and do myself a boot install. So with help from my dad we did this at home. Atm this is not finished but is getting along pretty good.

That is all I am up to with my car. My future plans for this car is to be a show car and not have too many mechanical upgrades to it. Although like most people I would love to turbo it or go the DEV 5 kit.

Thanks for reading- Matt.

Looking good, I should have bought wheels and suspension when I first got my car! Now I find it too hard to save that much money!

Needs clear indicators and repeaters real bad!

yeah i did not know which way to put them. lol. so i just put them in the easiest way. i recon it looks good anyway. i will just leave them.

id just like to say thanks to eveyone for the positive feedback. just make me more proud of my car. although i am always open to constructive critisim.

next on the mod list is to get my bonnet and front bar resprayed (cracked) and id love to get a bootlip spoiler. after that would be exhaust and lower a little more.

looks good matt, nice wheels :P look far better on your car than they did on my el.

you put the repeaters in backwards! With a little bit of work they fit the way they do on the AU's.

Keep it coming.

Color code the side strips/moulds, door handles (upgrade to EF style?) and mirrors while your at it. Will make it look a lot cleaner! Although after doing that a chrome pinstripe to replace the old one would also work well with those wheels.

Oh yeah do something about the aerial, its one thing that makes falcons look shite and thats the massive aerials they always have hanging off them, even just have it popping up a bit your in metro area so should still be good reception.

While it's a nice car, your title is very misleading. EFFalcons' car sets more of a standard for E series (being half BA). But yours is nice. Even your grandpa (RIP) would be proud, I'm sure.

You have the same front speakers as I do, Should be much nicer with the upgrades from jasons eh? ;) Youve also walled off your gas tank which is something I really need to do as well! Overall, its a sick EB :P
