Bf Xr8 Coupe????? Wtf!?

[tough_ea88]

gday to all, as i was having a fag during break time at work today i saw this blue xr8 i could only see the front half looked pretty sick i thought nice rims... but as i left work today i had another look... it only had 2 doors! so i slammed on the anchors got out and took a few pics! it was amazing, best job ever as if it cam from the factory like that! has anyone seen or heard of a bf xr8 coupe at all??

It was in Performance Ford magazine a few years ago, and what does this have to do with e-series?

[gthofan]

and where are the pics

[tough_ea88]

sorry i know its not e series, but it was news to me! and how could it be in ford performance magazine a few yrs ago?? its a bf! ill post pics up in like 10 minutes
just have to find my usb cable

[Dezza]

A BF? Unless they fitted a BF front to the BA, then it might be another one.

Here's the BA

that was a good looking job IMO, but i would do a slight roof chop... nothing over the top though

[tough_ea88]

Here It Is, Its Definately The Same Car, They Must Have Put A Bf Front On

I agree, it looks a bit funny otherwise.

If Ford made one for production then i would buy one

Same rims too, confirmation.

The au coupes (hillier)looked better imo,the ba guards and quarters are too square.

Agreed.

Whilst I don't mind the BA/BF Hybrid coupe mentioned here, the AU was much more suited to look good as a two-door.

[xy351]

yeah i remmeber this from pfm... im pretty sure there is a price of the conversion in the article... dont qoute me on that

[EDXRSW]

it was made by dreamtech in dandenong they make limos and stuff, they where going to make 50 for sale but didn't have enough interest, i think the 100k plus price tag put a few people off too.

and there are still cries for a factory falcon coupe (still'd be nice but!)

[fahim]

i like the standard one better... theres nothing beasty about the 2 door

[tough_ea88]

yeh thats where i noticed it, i work across the road from dreamtech lol im an apprentice spray painter in volgren.. good fun lol. they also have a stretch hummer its awesome lol

I remember seeing that at the MMS back in 2003. They were offering to do it on XRs and GTs only. I think it was about 30-40K to get done.

[BA GT-HO]

It doesn't look quite as nice as the new monaros.

[Ultimate]

It is a excellent machine. But i think that it still doesnt have the wow effect other coupes i seen made before had.


Still its a excellent bit of work.

[pHaT`eL]

AFAIK, Dreamtech still makes them. I check out the factory from time to time, always a few in the making. Last time I was there, they had a Toxic XR6T about to go home..

Off topic but what do you think a standard ba xr8 would look like as a convertible?

Does anyone know if this has ever been done?
