Where's the meter and wooden bead seat cover?

That's what you call a wolf in sheep's clothing

 

[motec 6.9]

Yes have seen this car on dyno at ford Holden show in 2005 I think it was.

 

[motec 6.9]

I know it was featured in zoom magazine not sure about others but I think it was in other magazines.

Funny how I nearly bought a Sprint many many years ago and used to drool over them in the showroom when I was working at Ford.... Now they look real bland!

I'd take that engine and put it in my AU Ghia!!

 

[motec 6.9]

Nah it looks way to good to replace it with an AU.

 

[motec 6.9]

Mind you AU being made to fit BA Modular engine means it has larger engine bay so 351 block fits comfortably. Which it doesn't in E Series so 400 plus cube Windsor can go in.

And you can fit better wheels on an AU without illegal adapters!

 

[motec 6.9]

Depends on what you call better wheels. Weld wheels centre line simmons all more common in older bolt pattern.

 

[Oversize]

High spec original wheels....

 

[motec 6.9]

Only design I liked was 17 inch fitted to series 2 & 3 XR6 & 8 didn't really like 18s . Best looking wheel grey 19 on F6 .

Here's a link to an XR8 Sprint that I really wanted in my younger years:

Funny that the Sprint's wheels and tiller look very similar to some AMG stuff....

 

[motec 6.9]

Yes I wanted a sprint as well. 1 of my cousins bought a green one new when they were released.

The one I liked in the showroom had a HUGE rear spoiler....

And they looked way better than the EB GTs even though I had one at my first wedding. Must've been an indication of my bad taste at the time!

[Oversize]

[motec 6.9]
