However $5.5K into a EF sure may go faster, however it will never have the looks of an S2K and the RWD.

My EF has been completely rebuilt with the help of my buddy's shop. It took a lot longer than the 2 months that I expected. It has been almost 5 months and it is now in the paint booth for final paint. Another month or so is needed for final touches on the interior / exterior / performance, after the paint booth.

I've spent about $10K on new parts and the body work.
I've saved $10K on labour since I did it myself with the help of my buddies.

I'm going to drive a completely restored EF in the spring. And yes, to me it was worth the $, blood, sweat, and tears.


Feel free to take a look at the progress since mid-Sept 06.
