mans these eg coupe looks alright. Only saw one in melb thats it and never to be seen again
well the thing was with me buying a car..
i love the EG front.. but love the coupe body shape..
and the EG coupe are hard to find.. so im thinking.. why not do a change.. although trying to do my research first.. and seeing if any1 done one from an em/ej yet
Man - if u do it n are succesful im gon buy a coupe n do it too ..
eg coupe = Love of my life ... after punani
But i have looked wide n far for them in melbounre and have seen justa handful ...
i saw d one zelda owned at the workshop and 1 in d city n 1 in glenny ...
but they were stock as Fu*K tho .... so im nto sure what u would do about parts ... body parts etc ...
I will be posting up my genuine EG coupe for sale shortly, if your interested let me know
HAAHaH - bow owns it now hah -

there was one for sale in brisbane about a year ago now with a turbo h22 conversion. sold for like 20g heh
Will you swap it plus cash for yellow DC2R??Quote:

It may work out better to buy a jap coupe rear and try and marry it up to an AUDM EG front and get it all engineered, dunno how simalar the chassis are, but it may be just a matter of cutting the rear panels etc off and welding up the newies!!
Show me 50+ in aus and i will believe you that they are not that rare!!Quote:

Still doing more research.. but i can understand about the radiator.. that wont be a big issue.. just need to lower the brackets! hopefully!
guess it wont look flush.. but thats when i get it fixed up by a panel beater or so forth.. :D
Man, unless you have an endless money pit, DO IT RIGHT THE 1ST TIME, don't stuff it and expect that a panel beater can just fix it, it's not that easy (or cheap) they will most likely have to undo most of the ork anyway, to get a real good finish.Quote:

i sold my dc5R..
i have bought an EG sedan panels and lights from the wreckers.. only cost me $300
i got all the EG parts ready.. im looking to buy a cheap em/ej.. which ive found 4 im gna be looking at this wed.. thurs and frid.. hopefully ill have everything started by the weekend
although saying this, im gna be starting with the interior strip first.. ive done my research.. cant find that much.. as most info are US based and its irrelevant.. there is no doing it right the first time.. ill be learning as i go.. unless someone whos done it lets me know exactly what ill have issues with..
plan is..
em/ej Chassis
Em/EJ REAR..
EG FRONT
EK9 Interior
off course theres gna be alot of modding.. but thats what im here for
