Grant, in Eric's defense, he's put a lot more into the car than just the body.

The whole top end has been rebuilt. There is a few aftermarket add-on goodies, he's got one HELL of a stereo system in there including a 7" LCD and a PS2.

Plus, his car has needed paint from the day he bought it. $2500 is just doing it right, and to find a car with those modifications with fresh paint will cost well over that price.

Plus, it's just so much cooler to say your car has had a conversion done. Shows the time/effort/care in it.
