It is his car. I've been to his workshop in Thomastown picking up some bits and pieces for my 89.
I'm usually there before he opens, and I've seen him rock up to work in it.
(it sounds very nice indeed!)
There is also a second one that is not quite so modded.
But as mentioned, parts pinched from other vehicles, so tidy profit follows. ;)
Terik Terik isn't Matar Motors sellers name on ebay.

Although I know him as Sam(:confused:), it's definitely Matar's own car as I have seen it and gone over it with him at Thomastown a month or so ago.
Before he was out North in the industrial shed he worked out of domestic garages at his home over in the inner West (near/in Newport). Most of the photo's in this ebay ad are taken out front of his home there. I know that because I bought some bits off him there a few years ago.
Up close, it's a great looking car with MASSIVE presence. And it has some really cool mod's. Personally, I like the dash treatment of raising the HEVAC. Although I think it should have made room for relocated BECM and EAS Modules below... perhaps fronted by a nanocom screen. Then a slightly smaller screen on top of the dash for combo GPS and digital media/entertainment. It is ridiculously high, and at 6'4" I reckon I would struggle to get in and out of it easily. Anyone short, or with "ducks disease" :wasntme:would need a step ladder or perhaps a mini trampoline to bounce on and get up and in!!!
Apparently, it goes really well off road but gets a little floaty at highway speeds. :angel: Personally, I wouldn't touch it without a complete and current engineer's report. Unless of course it was staying on my own property as a fun truck (or something like that). In saying that, I am pretty sure Sam would be expecting buyers to want one and probably already has it lined up. With that in place RWC would be a piece of pee-pee.
One thing you can bet on is that Sam would have used the best parts, off of the best donor cars on his own vehicle.
i had Terick Terick message me regarding a SRS ecu. Anyone know who he might be?Quote:
