Saying Hello - Craig

[Canuck]

Well, I've just bought a membership and am going to join in the fun at the Ft. this weekend so I thought I should say hello.  The season sort of crept up on me and I've not had time to install a few needed parts in the car...motivation is good. 

I've got two play cars.  The first is a 1981 Volvo 242 GLT.  I'm not sure what class I'm going to be in with this car or any of the details.  I'm looking forward to learning a lot.  I've built this car from the ground up (2010 - starting to rust again  ).  Last year I installed the power train upgrade it's always needed.  It's now got a turbocharged 2.3 L engine and a Borg-Warner world class T5 getting it down the road.  It's also EFI now - which is super nice.  It's sporting a big brake kit (that actually has effect), sways, springs, bushings all the usual stuff that you never find in a Volvo.

The second car is much further off - it's a 1966 Volvo 122.  It's my latest zany project.  It's designed to go around corners with hate.  When done, it'll have a 2.3 L 5 cylinder, Toyota IRS and Corvette C4 IFS.  I've spent 2 years working on the engineering and some of the fabrication.  It's a long way back, so I won't bore you further.

Anyway - hope to have fun and meet the crowd on Saturday.

Funny, I think of my '81 as being my modern car...then I stop and think that it's 34 years old and has 400,000 Km on the clock and was designed in the early 1970's.  I guess it's a classic now  .
