Do we have to use our own pictures Spocky?   ;D ;D I like this car as it is, not usually a fan of two tone paint but it works so well on this, however gunmetal is a fave shade too, could work... Really warming to these rapids, and rear engined stuff. must be my surroundings!!!    |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

Cool! Reminds me of the old Street machine project but with more tasteful silver/black rather than the stinking yellow they used. Doesn't the Fiat twin cam fit these?

Now it looks like I'm gonna get me a Rapid as well. And now I see what colour it will have as well since this is the same as I used on my "Duottro" two years ago... But where can I find those lamps, either in red/with or in only red if that is possible? It look like it's a good place for the engine in the back, and I know about some cars here in Norway who as fittet in Volvo Turbo engine in the back. But I was thinking about maybe fitting a Porsche engine at the back, have you heard of something like that before? The "Duottro" in action:  |

John Shelley is your man for those. www.sko-fast.com ...if i remember correctly too, they arent all that expensive...given that they are just lenses rather than a whole new lamp. |

Doesn't the Fiat twin cam fit these? No* *The firm that made the adaptor plates no longer makes them, and if you wer going to the effort of engineering a new one then it'd be more useful making it for a newer (more plentiful) engine. |

Here in use Volvo engine, make adapter and use a gearbox for Beetle 1302. Think we are going for this, Volvo 230FT engine with about 250-300 bhp. It's cheapest way to go for more power. Do you get any form of coilovers to this car? And I'll start my ovn tread I think, so I don't spam this one totally... |

Volvo T-5 Transaxle/suspension/engine rear mounted would do the trick. ;D
