Hi, greetings from Finland

Some may know this car from Turbosport (or not) but here it's again.

Been in the family since new (-71) and taken out from the road early 90's around 122000km on the clock. It had monster 1.3l kent without any kind of luxury. I decided to take this project to be my first in 2004 and started take it to pieces. I did get it back on the road after long 8 years of building in July of 2012. It did get 13000km on the clock and then valve retainer broke and destroyed one piston. This was result of too soft valve srpings (kent cams hd, peace of shit, same rate as stock springs!) and original valve retainers + 7000rpm redline and heavy foot

There is so much pictures and story about the first build up, so here are couple videos to show the build and result of it in a neat package.


I'm rebuilding the car and new engine at the moment, can write a story about that and where I'm at the moment if someone is intrested
