Pics should be working now!

what rear strut tower bar is that? (if it is one) if you want to drift your car learn with that b20. not the most power but you develop more skills when your learning on a low power engine

Yea it is one, don't remember what brand I'll have to check that later...
It's some german brand, I'll attach a pic and the name of the store I bought it from.

I'm getting an LSD soon so that will help tremendously, and increase the tirepressure on the rear tires for less traction.
Do you have any tips on what to do to make it more driftable on tarmac?
Maybe some technique? I think I may be too gentle with the car :p

awesome job! i love the color

Thanks! The color seems to be very well liked, thats nice to know since that's the biggest reason I deiceded to fix the car, I really like the color :)

no pictures, but welcome ghost man.

I see, maybe picasa doesn't like hotlinking.

Here's a temporary link to "my gallery" then in the meanwhile.

That rust was ferocious... was it all surface rust?

I love the color, and looks like you've definitely rescued it. For rims, look into Hartge 16's.

Not all of it, both front sidefenders got replaced and as well as new wheel edges on the back.

Some Hartge's would be awesome, just need to find a nice pair.

+1 rotas are crap. Your car is looking really nice and clean. Good job!

Thanks!

Looks great. But where did the back seat go?

It's off temporarly cause I needed to work on the plate where hatrack (or whatever it's called) is, cause it was bent to hell by the previous owner that tried to fit a couple of speakers. He did a shit job so I had to attack it with a dremel.

Welcome, congrats and looking forward to the part of the project.

Thanks, I hope I won't dissapoint :mrgreen:. Updates may be slow because of low income (living on studentloans atm :nice:)

Good work. I really like the color, anyone know what its called?

Thanks, the color is Gletscherblau-metallic 280.
