Aw man that looks killer
Hello Guest, welcome to the initial stages of our new platform!

Thank you for being a part of our community!
I kind of want a set of those wheels now. I love the way they look, but I don't want to have to clean them all the time.

i feel like a 45 series tire would look even better.
its hard for me to explain, but i PERSONALLY think that the perfect tire size from a hight perspective doesnt flow into the wheel arches? idk, im just rambling.
looks good tho
I'm curious as to your opinions of the Classic Swede spring/shock combo. Are these better than Bilstein HD's in a lowered application? Were they pricey to ship to North America? Did you get their shortened rear shocks or standard length?
Also, do you know the specs on the springs? I see on their website they sell 40mm, 60mm and 60/40mm lowering springs, but I'd like to know how low/stiff they actually are. Would you recommend their springs over a set of Bluecoils?
LOVE this car, great inspiration for my 72 142. Your turbo plan sounds awesome BTW!
Minor updates.
Are you going to be able to keep the factory radiator with whatever engine mounts you're using?
are you running the engine slanted or upright? b21f intake?
I'm not sure how much room there is in a 142 compared to a 122. My stock radiator wouldn't even fit with the engine sitting pretty far back. It hit the nose of the water pump and that was before even putting any kind of fan in there. I had to move the radiator pretty far forward which leaves so little room for an appropriate-sized intercooler. I want to assume that 140s have a little more room to work with in the front.
