I drive a swedish car and I'm working with a company in Sweden to get some parts for my car. One of the guys pointed me to the car below when we got to talking and I just love it. So here are some other things from one of my favorite sites. These are just a few of the ones I really like for various reasons

This is how they do it in the north.

Old VW- Hate the rear camber, but the stereo setup is just too cool.

I LOVE the Opel GT. NICE!

The guy making some parts for me has one that he is doing with a Saab 2.3 turbo in it. The engine makes about 500hp right now. I'll have to ask him if it's cool if I post pictures of it. It has custom 17x9 f/17x11 r Kinesis wheels on it. :crazy: Apparently the Opel GT is having some kind of revival in Sweden right now.

He offered to sale me his other 2.3 to swap into my Saab, but I had to decline. Shipping an engine from Sweden cost more than the engine. It makes about 420hp/505 lb-ft. on ethanol with a Holset HX35.

I just think this car would look much better without it. Just keep the clean low budget look. I still think that boombox in the front is just too cool.

The last time I was in Sweden, I saw some crazy ass tuner cars. Its weird seeing kids racing around in modded Volvo's. Was really cool.

^That would be a fourth gen Corolla (E70). I believe the one picture is a '79. The blue car underneath is the same car before the paint.

Great pics! P.S. air cooled V-Dubs always have camber in like that when they are dumped.
