That's a good looking exterior! And you'll have plenty of spare engine parts from the original engine. It looks like you know what you're doing with vehicles and I would love to have that big of a shop. Welcome to the board from another new guy.

Welcome to the board! That's quite a collection of vehicles, enough to cause envy for those of us on this continent that can't get many of them...
Are you keeping the LT van, or is it just an engine donor for the Volvo? A2 Jetta coupes have always looked great to me, would be fun to put a TDI into one of those.... Was that drag racing on *ice* with the 343 vs the 911?? :D |

the lt bus was just for the engine and the gearbox for a nother projekt yes it was a dragrace with the 911 ;) alot of fun was had :P the volvo is doing nicely https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.n...23572030_n.jpg right now im running some home made wide steelys 8,5x15 https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.n...61781288_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.n...67962135_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.n...09624052_n.jpg im going for a little photoshoot today after the car is polished up =) also getting some spacers for the back, need some lower tyres and more low but what injectors shuld i go for ? im running full boost from the original turbo 2,1bar and i also need a larger turbo |
