well it finally copped a turbo which i planned to do when i owned it but it looks like a very cheap setup. also looks a bit butchered now, bit of a shame really. according to the add the plates have been separated from the car and to me that is officially the death of EDGHIA. Thanks pat for letting me know ;) also the kays seem surprisingly low considering i sold it all those years ago with 200k on the clock :P

it was advertised on ebay a couple of months ago prior to this as well. i thought about buying it back but looking at it now i cant say i really want it anymore. most members wont care but some older members might appreciate it.

Yes, so many memory's in this car and so much learnt. no idea what they would have sold for, probably not much lol. I bought them for $300 back when vic roads weren't such a rip off for 2 peice's of painted stamped metal a sticker and some admin work.

It's a great shame. Shattered he separated the plates. R.I.P.

Definitely one of my favorite e-series and one the motivated me when I started modding mine!

Shame to see it looking shabby compared to the early days. It was always such a mint looking car. I can understand, and it's the main reason I'm keeping (and tidying up) the EA. I don't want to see someone else ruin it.

What's wrong with it? It comes with a RWC!!

If you wanna see from shit to champagne, then champagne back to shit you gotta see my old 5L white EL Ghia. It lives in the South Eastern subs somewhere and sports "IMJAT" plates. It's fucked now.

RIP is when its wrapped around a pole or crushed at the scrap metal yard... its still got some legs left in it. Plates dont really make or break a car i dont think if you took Daves pissy v8 plates or jareds federally plates or your gene plates it would change em.. still sick cars who cares bout the plates. If you really wanted it back you'd buy it back...
