[quote=gtst lad]Here's my new drifto toy :smokin: bought off here recently.
It already has the following which makes life easy.
[LIST]
Welded diff
Seats and harnesses
Hydro
A bit of suspension tweaking
Wheels and spares[/LIST]
Also came with a 1.8 16v engine and other bits to fit (when time allows).
Here's a few pics







and the engine

Must say i feel like a right nobber for ever slagging these cars off now as they're ace i never planned on buying this, just saw the advert and paid a deposit straight away, total impulse buy but i really have to say i love it now and can see alot of potential

To be fair, the volvo is probably alot of fun, but I cant see why you would want want want one when there are probably 100 better cars to be had for the money.

I do appreciate the functionality over form, it looks shite but probably a hell of a lot more fun than any corsa or 106 for that matter.
