Was there any unusual circumstances around how you acquired your car?
No, I bought it from a friend. He built most of the car.
Was there more work on your car than you anticipated? Did you find a bucket of wiring worms, find some secret hidden problems…..
No, 2nd owner car in great shape.
Are there any unique mods on your car? Hyper-rare parts, custom made parts…
Custom re-drilled hubs for different bolt pattern. Brand new Volvo R Sport steering wheel.
Would you consider your car done in its current form? Or do you have a list of “to dos” still left?
It’s a great ice cream shopper, but I will do some minor changes, I want a new, better turbo, and aftermarket engine management.
What is the biggest problem you ran into on your build?
A good friend of mine did the most of the build. I bought it from him. I haven’t had any big issues with the things I have modified on this car.
If you had to do it again, would you build the same car?
Yes, 100%
Are you apart of a club or crew with your car?
No, just some forums, Facebook groups and Instagram. It’s inspired from group a Racing. The beige one I got is inspired from typical early 2000’s builds.
What is your favorite part on your car?
