I'm digging the wheels.

Good lord, that engine bay...

[calw]

Almost nuthin' but engine in that engine compartment.  It almost seems to be a wireless car.  Where do the windshield washers get their fluid from?  But, not diggin that poly steering coupler unless they've started making them with a backbone molded inside.

 

Yes, the wheels are a perfect match for the car, Dave.

Indeed!  There's just something about a Polaris roundie with turbo flares.  Add an S54 with trumpets and you can't get much better.

.... needs an air filter.  S54's aren't THAT cheap.

of course, jelly.

Super jelly, very very cool car.  Love the sheet metal fab in the nose along with the radiator tuck.  The rear exhaust isn't my favorite, but I understand the mindset.

No dust or bugs in Sweden.  Too cold.

Amazing attention to detail on this build.

I especially like the recessed pockets on the fender tops (with drain holes) for the hood torsion bar links.

Where is the brake booster? Maybe with those giant calipers, he didn't need one?

With the extensive mods to the firewall, where do you suppose the heater and air vents are?....Driving that monster must make you sweat in any climate.

Gorgeous car. May be in my top 3 favorite 02s. Incredible details, perfect stance, amazing blend of new and old. Top shelf work.

 

Wow is all I really can think of.

 

Thanks for sharing.

nice work, but....i would be more impressed if there was in car video from a track session.

 

alas, cars like this rarely ever get really used properly.

at least there are tea strainers hidden in each trumpet, but a bit of form over function I'd think. But some how I doubt he notices or cares about the pony or three lost in flow ?

 

Immaculate realisation of one mans vision.

I'd argue that car is getting used exactly as intended by the owner / builder.  Might not be what you or I would think of as proper, but I bet he's pretty happy using it the way he does.
