There's a lot of B series elements in this car, if they implemented that style into the AU's they would have been a much better looking car.
Actually would have been a perfect transition from AUIII to the BA series.
Excellent!

There's a couple of them stored in the old Ford stamping plant canteen, and the others are scattered around the place. Ford will hang onto them until they can find somewhere to put them on display.

Im not the biggest holden fan, but what Holden did with that 1994 dated omega platform was decent...ute, wagon, coupe, 1-tonne ute, AWD...

Holdens Concept out put is remarkable aswell...when you include the two companies, both have represented Australian talent in a great way.






























Im sure there was more...but Holdens early 2000's work was prolific!

The kit on the EA GT is an APV bodykit just with a big wing. The kit was used on a model called the APV SR3900, an aftermarket model based off the EA. The kit's very rare though.

As for the Scorcher kit, they have made copies but they seem harder to find than they used to be. I bought my Scorcher front bar about 5 years ago, and at the time they were selling them on ebay. It's actually extremely well made with quite thick fibreglass.
