Top and lower brace bars on now with a larger rear anti roll bar. Prep is coming on nicely for the engine and gearbox conversion soon.

I do plan a road trip to Sweden once it’s finished.

I’ve the V70r front kit on my car as you know and I tried the mustang master cylinder with larger push rod to try get a better feel to the brakes but had no joy. Today I got DS2500 brake pads fitted, HEL brake hoses and another brake bleed. It’s night and day with these pads and the bite off them is now really really great, even with the stock MC. I’d had these pads on an S4 I had and thought what the hell. Delighted now. It’s all coming together in time for some turbo noises 😊

Hi Tim, I’ve left that to Dai Brace at classic swede. I assume it will be the stock turbo with supporting mods. Dai has estimated circa 300hp when he’s finished. This will be fine for the first steps. I do plan to hike the power from this in the future with a larger top mount turbo and stand alone ecu.

Got the 6x9’s in now. My god it sounds immense. Now a 6 speaker system. Rockford Fosgate fronts with pioneer speaker in the rear doors. Amped up 6x9’s with the subwoofer.

Catastrophic failure of the radiator tonight. So it’s parked up till next week and it’s off to Classic Swede on the 29th.
