and now drop a wrx engine in it.
or even better a six cylinder boxer from a porsche 911 turbo...

but keep on going!

[bartolomeus]

We started taking the suspension parts a part. For sandblast and powder coat.
Discovered some problems.

[bartolomeus]

Took the Evo parts to sand blast place, also a pair of RS2 calipers

[bartolomeus]

We painted the engine room and also sprayed the laquer.





As you can see the car will get a new color

This is how it will look at the end:



Any feedback on the new color would be appreciated.

Looks good to me Bart!

Can't go wrong with red IMHO. Apart from the Polar silver RS2 and Avus silver RS4 I have never liked silver on a car, looks dull.

Some other rust removal work

Really Nice, and red color looks great

Today we started FINALLY putting everything back together.

Good thing I have my father's pick up Dacia so I can move these big parts from our shop to the blast shop and back.

[rxl]

keep up the work
