Re: Timing problems!

Strange though since it's only a year old. Anyways, I got her running, but not as she supposed to. I bought a tim...

Re: My car :)

I was thinking about taking the engine out of a 90-94 galant gti or maybe the same year colt gti. I'd have to build new enginemounts since they are fw driven, but all is possible ;) Was also thinking about putting on a L300 diff. The reason for my car choices is that there is really hard to get a ho...

Re: My car :)

Yeah I know. It's damn near impossible to find that badge. But the look has grown on me, and I like it. Just black.
I also got a spare grill, but thats a different type, I'll see if I can find one on here.

Re: My car :)

Thanks :) hehe, well I'm glad the steeringwheel is on that side :)

Yeah, normally things rust up here, the good thing is that our winters are normally dry, so if you put some efford into it, you can keep your car nice :)

Myself I always place my beauty in my garage from around october-april.
