Sometimes, we really wish that we can have a lot of time on our hands so that we can build a car to a spec we really love.
From the chassis, to the exterior, to the engine, suspension components, etc..
This fine example of an EG6 was found strictly for that purpose. The body was straight, with no major accidents. Engine was in bad shape (so that we can squeeze the ex owner for a good price). Interior was non-existent (so we can squeeze EVEN more for a cheap price). Well, the list goes on… but since we are going to rebuild it anyhow, it didn’t matter how bad the car was.
OK OK, i guess the car is not in that bad shape.
Here, let us ”showcase” what we have done this far.
we needed to put the car on a diet… so first thing to go was the sunroof.
here, we purchased a nice piece of the roof without the sunroof.
please enjoy my EG6 cabrio, limited edition
and another one here, with the top, on its way down
whole interior was stripped and all the sound deadening material removed. this took us a good 2-3 weekends.
yes yes, we are wimps, and we need fans.
yanking out all the unwanted wires, like the ABS, VSC, TRC, DSG, SST, we don’t want all of that! (don’t you agree this EG6 is way cool???)
after all the sound deadening material and waterproof sealant were scrapped off, it was time for master craftsman Mr Lye from Lye Designs to do some stitch welding to stiffen things up a little. we would like to put in a nice roll cage in there…. but.. we will see, how to get around our annual inspection.
REALLY NICE AND CLEAN RIGHT?
fat ass at work, trying to talk the engine into walking itself out of the engine bay
and very importantly… how long we took to get to this point?
just have a look at these…
