Not sure why my phone is turning the pictures 90, oh well.

That's a nice looking 242. Surprised a few redblock owners no doubt.

And another twist.. I own the car again! The build thread will continue. Things to come will include rear end swap, exhaust, turbo upgrade possibly, intercooler for sure, and suspension work.

Wasn't that car going to get a T5 trans?

Still looks good. What's the rear end going to be? Going for a taller gear?

[anders]

The car might be getting a T5, not sure yet.
It will be getting a 3.31 or 3.52 gear set, the gears in it now are 4.10, way to low for the diesel.

Well now it's time for a built engine. Going with a D24T block bored 1mm with KS Pistons, chromemoly piston rings, cylinder head has a mild port and polish done to it along with all new valves.

Hopefully this will all be fine before the next Swedish car show this February.

Old engine out of the car, it was pulled to install into a 245.
