nice ride dude!
first i would take off the hardtop and install a german aftermarket exhaust system. (exhaust and header) pls do not buy muffler for less then 1k otherwise your car will sound like a tin can. i recommend the following mods: FVD, Ruf or Cargraphic.

lastly, make sure to send some pics with girl..


happy motoring,

Here are the codes:

502 - Production in Valmet
584 - Storage Above the Engine

I have never seen 239. It could be the hardtop.
Correction - 239 is 18" Wheels

Very cool Blink that you found a new Box so quickly. I like the color combo a lot.

That looks so clean, Im a fan of the Orient Red, I see a 2.5 version every day and when you see it in the distance your unsure if its a porsche its one of those colours that make you think a Ferrari is coming, I bloody love it. Suppose Hard-top is a bonus, not my thing as i would never keep in on my car. lol
Did you manage to keep your old lights from the blue Box or are you going to have to order a new set??
I cant help thinking Black wheels with chrome lip would look awesome, but the turbo's look fresh.

What are the plans??

I couldn't keep the lights off my old car. I will just have to buy Litronics from someone.

What are the plans??

I wanted to start fresh with this car. It's getting a new clutch,flywheel,r.m.s.,i.m.s. seal & 4 c.v. boots done right now. As soon as it comes home from the shop it's getting new oil + filter along with a new air filter. After that it's new wheels,coilovers or Litronics first,whatever I can decide on first.
