TWIN BROTHERS YOUNAN AND EDDIE KHAZI SET OUT TO SHOWCASE THEIR TALENTS WITH THIS CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED BARRA TURBO XE GHIA BUILD
ANDREW BROADLEY

IT'S said that twins often share an intrinsic understanding of one another that leads to a special bond, and that's certainly true of Sydney brothers Younan and Eddie Khazi. The pair are joined at the hip, and given Younan is a panel beater and Eddie a painter, they make a pretty formidable team whether they're repairing cars at work, or churning out epic custom builds in the shed at home.

Perhaps compounding their bond is the fact Younan is hearing-impaired, and often relies on Eddie to help him communicate. "We've always worked together, from when we were apprentices through to owning our own shop, then selling the business and continuing to work together in the industry," Eddie says. "We've always been inseparable, and when one of us is having a rough day, the other one props him up. We are one another's backbone; we're a great team." This utterly stunning XE Fairmont Ghia stands as testament to that.

The pair had a shared vision for the car, then worked their arses off to make it happen. They've got priors when it comes to building tough XEs, too their last one, known as WRNING, was a proper toughie with a screaming tunnel-rammed Clevo, but this car is next-level.

"We wanted to build a car that would showcase what we could do," Eddie says. "We purchased the Ghia five years ago and started building it. We didn't really want a show car, but we have always wanted to have a car unveiled at Summernats. It was coming together nicely, and we thought we could maybe get it there.
