As in what technical side of things, law, rego, insurance.... Is going to cost more than a home loan deposit... Just what everone thinks. |

I think you'll find it'll be a nightmare.
For starters the E-series shape does not lend itself to being fit for coupe-age... Legalities? There weren't any two door E-series from the factory (XG/XHs don't count :P) so you'll need an engineer to pass it. Then again, converting ANY sedan to a two-door would require engineering (bar barry's XM :P). Last edited by mcflux; 08-08-2006 at 11:02 PM. Reason: nah, can't have a useless post now! |

Sony Scorcher has been up for sale on a couple of occasions... might be worth while waiting for it to come up for sale again. Save you heaps of $$$

Buy a Fox bodied Mustang (78-93) it has similar style to a Falcon, V8 (or turbo 4), looks like a proper coupe, unique and cheaper.
