hey guys, thought id give you all some insight into my current projects with cars. I originally was building a project 355 calais and had a daily vl to get around in. With this taking so long i got bored of the "stockiness" and decided to run some basic boost through the motor. I am building it up to look like a bt1 with the colour an the chasas (widened on the rear ) and a basic t3 turbo conversion (for now) with a front mount. just somethin to have fun in while i build my other "real" project car. Here it is stock. Painting Ill post some more pics up when its finished. Should be in a few days. Ready for C4C Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

its quite funny, the car being what it is now, gets just as much attention from the older generation of car enthusiasts as it does from young teens. Cuz the older lads actually have grown up around em, probs having been chased by em back in their day of hooning and burnouts!! but yeh im proud of it...
