Out of curiosity what kind of work do you do?
Thank you! I will for sure try to put up some videos of the wagon ones it's out on the streets!

I'm a consultant, right now in Somalia. If there is a war going on, or have just been in the country, most likely you'll find me or my colleagues there as well.

Sooo excited to see the outcome of this. From the pics it looks like the core engine and supercharger work has been taken care of. I guess they are just working on the tuning and such at this point?

As everyone else has said I'm glad to see it's still alive.

Thank you so much Biscuit! And yes, all SCRAM are waiting for right now is for the snow to disappear so that they can take the car out for fine tuning of the engine. After that the car will be transported up to Stockholm for a total repaint.

I'm hoping to have the car all done by the end of April-middle of May.

THE DAY IS HERE!!!!!

Ok guys….

The day is here! I will get the car tonight, in about 3 hours! The paintwork is still totally **** after the last painter destroyed it, and a lot of car parts. The car will go in to a new painter in the end of next week; he will repaint it in a new color and replace all the broken parts.

The only think left to do as well is that there is a bigger SC wheel that are going on at the end of August, at the moment it’s giving 0,94 bar and we are going up to 1,5bar.

At the moment all of this is trivial, I’m just happy to get the car back…Have not driven it since October 2008.

I’m like a kid on Xmas!!
