Body is pretty rough. I've got a new hood and fender in process of being installed. Tip top mechanical shape though. Hopefully I'll get some bigger injectors and a dyno tune in the near future. If I don't sell it first.

we never got these beasties :(

I've seen these on the US forums and sites a bit and gotta say I really like them.

Your's looks to be a very nice example, as you say once the body is tidied up you'll have a very respectable car that goes hard and isnt run of the mill.

Thanks for posting up about it. I love reading/seeing things from stateside especially with background shots showing a little of the country/landscape/homes etc. Gives us a bit of insight into your lifestyle and way of living which is edumacational and opens our eyes to different cultures.

Cheers mate :beer

yeh they look the goods eh.. engine shoulda been mounted 90 degrees clockwise but oh well :)

the first drag in fast n furious was with an eclipse..

oh and i love the interior.. the dash layout is freakin cool!!

awaesome, i remember thee from when i lived in the states. The interior is fantastic ( apart from the fact your steering wheel is on the wrong side :) ) AWD would be great in the winter there huh !
