I reckon we all chip in and finish it. I'll weld up your k-frame and crossmember.

That done and alot of other small things to make it at least a running EA, dash needs to go in, 4 speed auto brackets need to be made, brakes bled. I am sure alot of other small things needed as well.

It comes down to time, alot of time needs to be spent on the car to get it running again.

I apologise for disappointing those who took an interest in the project which at one stage had big plans, and also to say a special thank you to EA2BA who gave tireless support and effort in his own time.

My plan is to sell the car as is, as a rolling shell with the AU motor and most parts to run, but this is not confirmed as yet. Either way the nasty news had to be broken! D'oh.

Cheers,

Jack

Matey, take it from me the king project aborter.... lol, your going to kick yourself if you get rid of it.....

Cheers

yeh mate just keep at it my ebs been in the shed for about a year and a half now

ilsautomotive · 19-03-2007, 02:04 PM

I wish that were an option matey, but space is at a premium now, as is time. ;)

A quick update meanwhile, a couple of forum members expressed interest but were understandably put off by the amount of work needed to go in. As a parts car, though, it's probably one of the best an EA-ED owner could get. Nonetheless I am open to sub-$1k offers because the next step is accepting any pittance a wrecker might offer.

mcflux · 19-03-2007, 02:14 PM

What a sad end Jack :(

I hope it stays in the club and that someone else takes it on. Best of luck with it mate.

Maybe they will :monkes:

EFFalcon · 19-03-2007, 02:45 PM

I hope someone buys it and finishes it... i'd love to buy it and use the parts but i'd feel bad.

EA2BA · 19-03-2007, 02:46 PM

You can have the engine, i will take the rest

Christiaan · 19-03-2007, 02:46 PM

John, I have first dibbs on the engine.. You just did an engine transplant :P

Yeah.

Go and find your own AU engine :P I PM'ed him first! So nerny.

EFFalcon · 19-03-2007, 02:55 PM

I've got a feeling i'd get priority....... :P
But i'm not buying it, i want it to goto someone who'll consider finishing the car.

You'd get priority cos your car uses 4 litres of oil per outing? :P

Nah that's ok.. I can pick up an AU engine elsewhere, but I'd also like to see it go to someone who'll finish it. If the dash was in there and all hooked up, I'd have considered buying it. It doesn't need much to get going really.

Would make a clean cruiser..

So this is project "Abortion" ?

I would finish it.

Very interested to know what it comes with Jack?

Kenaz · 19-03-2007, 06:32 PM

Nevermind, I saw the for sale thread.

More work than I thought.

Good luck with the sale mate

Sundeep · 06-06-2007, 02:42 PM

I couldn't find the For Sale thread about Jack's EA.

What happened to it? Anyone snap it up?

Work is teh boring.

mcflux · 06-06-2007, 02:44 PM

Didn't homad or ash buy it?

Sundeep · 06-06-2007, 03:25 PM

Nup. Nunna them AFAIK.

There wasn't much of a turbo kit to go with the car. IIRC, turbo, boost gauge and wastegate are all that were included.

Sundeep

mcflux · 06-06-2007, 03:48 PM

Looks like a mystery has been committed!

Sundeep · 06-06-2007, 04:44 PM

Looks like a wordsmith has offended..

Sundeep

mcflux · 06-06-2007, 04:52 PM

FTL?

But on a more on-topic note, I do recall one of the e-series members mentioning something about intending to purchase the EA and return it to being relatively stock. This was a good few months ago though.

I ditched the 6 and went for a TT 347 setup. It's made pretty good power in testing. I don't have any pics, but I'm hoping to run her down the 1/4 within the month.

Cheers.

mcflux · 06-06-2007, 10:24 PM

bwahahahaha!

BRADMAN · 06-06-2007, 10:45 PM

i bought it (seriously)
wanna see what i did to it?

brad

BRADMAN · 06-06-2007, 11:03 PM

the penny may drop for some peps.
this is why ive had sooo many questions on au engines and parts that i have no clue what model car they came from.
cos im sorting thru all the gear i picked up with this project car.

the sad news was car has been crushed (just the shell and i mean JUST THE SHELL) due to it needing more work than me re-using my current 4 speed EA2.
was a waste but no body wanted the straight panels and no body wanted the shell so had no option but to get crushed

so i bought all the turbo parts, the au engine, rolling shell and random parts.

after the 2 weeks she looked like the photo below.
the front wheels are held on using blocks of timber....thats how serious i stripped her.
the windows have been kept and partly given to a mate whos ea got broken into and messed up.

otherwise the rest will end up on my ea and being sold.
the end hopefull result is something i will be proud of. and of course happy with.
