so Im not new to the car world, but I have mostly always owned vw's, decided it was time to get a rwd car as im sick of autocrossing a fwd. anyway got the car in trade for a volvo 240 I had, plus he gave me $250 cash, car was in bad running shape when I got it, but a little work, and time it not runs great. it still has the dam three speed auto, but it will soon be nixed for the 5 speed standerd from my parts 84 gsl se. have a pile of parts and some tricks up my sleeve, aiming for a frankinsine look like http://japanesenostalgiccar.com/blog...z_mad_max2.jpg

painted the hood and made my own ft lip. hope you like.

this is my second attempt at finding a rotary fourm to learn and help on, first place I ended up haveing some issues with my account and I couldn't find any one to help fix them so I just bailed.

a true stroke of genius it was. took two hours to tape, and 5 minutes to paint. its much better in person, the amount of flake in the paints is nuts.
