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. BEFORE: - AFTER: - - - - - - -

Matt, Sick EB you have.
Plenty of potential there. Keep at it.

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!

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.

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
