Thank you! You're spot on

[jaake]

Put my roof rack back on, and my rear seats back in.

[jaake]

Painted my wheels and fender

[MattHatCat]

looks much better,

no rust!

no rust!

I much prefer it, thanks!

The wheels will be changing colour again, will be going back to silver unless anyone has any better suggestions?

[jaake]

Still alive and well, will also sell it if anyone's interested..

[jaake]

Had a viewer today, but the temptation of the volvo swap makes me change my mind..
Power output would be more than double in a car that already weighs under 800kg..
Anyway, went to the scrapyard in search of one..

[MattHatCat]

Awesome did you pic anything up?

What's the details on the swap?

[jaake]

Not yet, should be going back tomorrow for a better look

Engine I'm going for is the b18ft, found in the volvo 440, 460 and 480 and maybe elsewhere
So it'll be going from the stock 1.4 na engine to the 1.7 turbo

Absolutely love this, coolest and dopest R5 I've seen. Good job sir. Try making it more fresh looking.

that would be insanely fun, no joke that would be the best little crazy car.

Steels are black again

rolling shot

[jaake]

Well the things now dead, probably a knackered starter motor

Will be sitting here for a while
