EF9 vs EG6 what would you buy?

It's cool, i see where you are coming from, piecing together cars can be expensive, especially when you don't know what you're doing, though if that's the case you probably shouldn't attempt it.

Dude I don't think you're understanding me here:

Well, that's $5500 + ED9/EF7 price. And to get one in good knick? You can get a shit ED9/EF7 for like $3000-4000 which would equal the price of a good EF8, or to buy a good ED9/EF7 you could pay $5000-7000 and suddenly you're paying a price equal to an immaculate EF8.

Maybe as well just buy a good knick EF8, yeah? I believe it's cheaper that way. Conversions are for desperate people who aren't prepared to wait twelve months for a good SiR like I did

I'm saying that the conversion might cost $5500 (which becomes our starting expense figure) and then you need to factor in the price of an average ED9/EF7 for $3000-4000 or a very good ED9/EF7 for $5000-7000, taking the total price of buying/converting a non-SiR CRX to somewhere between $8500-$12500
At this point you're looking very much at the price of a very clean ($8500) to immaculate/show room EF8 ($11000+) ---> coming back to my original point that to build a replica is not cheaper.
That is, of course, not including your rolling shell idea which is a very good point.

All clear?
