  1. Oh, so you did get hurt, no problems, we'll pick you up....
  2. I never liked the look of white gauges, but I know many people did and they were in the box, so... Doesn't fit at all but who cared back then? lol Printed some Swedish plates for it too, not 100% correct but close enough.
  3. Interior. A bit simple, since it will hardly be visible at all with the tinted glass, so only flat paint on the carpet for example. I am disappointed by the satin black I painted on the seats and door cards though, it dried high gloss and I still stirred the paint, but again, tinted glass so I let it be. Not that they will be very visible either, but painted panels on the dashboard was also a hot thing back then. Dual exhausts, after swapping the stock muffler for a very suitable Golf VR6 unit.
  4. Not bad. If you're aiming for a stocker the door handles should be black though (but they do look better when colour-coded).
  5. Yes, I do, and the fact that I did remember it was why I had to buy the 80 when I saw one for sale.... But since you had already gone the stocker route, I took a different one. And I guess it is just as hideous as you remember the 90s. I know your very warm feelings about tuner cars, eurodisco and Audi....
  6. Maybe. US cars were pretty popular as taxis in Sweden though, but then it was sixes and three on the tree.
  7. Why not? I have some austrian friends here in my village and according to what they say it seems to be a nice country...
  8. Nice, I like the floor mats.
  9. I guess that with a 389 you had been king of the Taxis in Finland back then, lol.
  10. Mono wiper it is.... And the darkest limo tint on all windows, like all the cool guys had back then, lol. It's a shame that it will hide so much of the interior, but still...
  11. I adjusted the diesel pump on my pickup truck, the result is that if anything it runs better now, and there is almost no black smoke anymore. Easy and quick fix, I wonder what the last person adjusting it really was thinking?
  12. Something that you recognize but still not. You start to wonder if it's a model from any of the european divisions, or..... Convincing and nice.
  13. Nice beater look, almost hard to believe it's plastic.
  14. I sure have interest, I wouldn't have thought that it was possible to pull off a chop looking this good on a 37 Slantback but the shape is absolutely beautiful now.
  15. Goats can eat everything, probably rats poison too......
  16. over Margaret Thatcher
  17. Max Power, now that was an idea, the E30 on the cover of the november 1993 issue has a mono wiper indeed.......
  18. Very tasteful interior.
  19. Great job, I really don't understand the open seatbacks found in most Fujimi kits.....
  20. Tasteful colour combo and nice finish.
  21. Sad thing about the paint, but I like what I see, especially the seatbelts has a realistic look to them.
