Nice! EF/L's look great on the BA 18's don't they?

All you need now is a Ghia interior conversion!;)

I would take that EL XR8 S1 over a ED XR any day, Sprints are ok, but at the end of the day they are a half *** after thought from Ford to off load some GT bits.

I've owned both ED and EL XR's....The ED was a lot of fun, but for outright comfort and ride quality...can't beat the EL.
