Because a grand on a pain job could be a grand spent on the engine?

So why buy those wheels? Could have some cheaper ones and spent a few hundred on getting it to look respectable..

People criticize the enzo for being "ugly" yet they say these old bangers with all rust and no paint look good.

Damn, Penski's turning me on again..

Sideways in a rat look volvo with the turbo whistling. Just think of it like that.

penski · 13 Mar 2006 at 07:41

Is that that Linde Bus on the right?

This is how the Ovlov used to look:

But it had a bit of an off-track excursion:

So full-on rebuild time...

penski · 13 Mar 2006 at 07:56

So during the rebuild, a few things were added:

Garrett GT2871R turbo, dual ball bearing with the upgraded 4" compressor inlet:

A rather hefty rollcage:

With 1 month before the next event, he concentrated on the mechanicals rather than the bodywork:

I think it's great.

EDIT: Just watched that first video. Proper Good and far more entertaining than that video of the M3's at Oulton.

Barry Smalley · 13 Mar 2006 at 08:43

Hahahahahahaha!!!!! Other one also watched. Great stuff - nice one penski.

MrMoon · 13 Mar 2006 at 08:56

please can I have some car with my rust :cool:

Mad old tory · 13 Mar 2006 at 09:16

Love it pre-accident, not so keen on the rat look myself though

MrSix · 13 Mar 2006 at 10:46

I get it, I definately get it

I'm currently looking for a SORN E30 BMW 325i to have a play with, they go for far too little and are far too much fun

Other than that, it's a Sierra XR4x4.

There's a video of a similar volvo in sweden which can be seen here http://videos.streetfire.net/hottestvideos/3/351BFB5C-96F3-43C2-9E18-45E6E0E6760C.htm
That's more of a sleeper than a rat car though.

I don't know what it is that attracts me to these cars, I used to be the same as all of the other 'trolls' in this thread - "crappy looking car...bah humbug etc", but after attending a drift event and seeing a 'sleeper' absolutely pan the 'drift team' cars, such as the 200SX's etc - I was hooked

Keep us updated on that kadett too, looks interesting

[TW]Fox · 13 Mar 2006 at 11:00

This is how the Ovlov used to look:

Whilst I'd hardly get excited about that, I get that. Thats a nice, well kept example of a 200. Not my thing, but I can see the point. Its good.

Quite why you think the fact he's utterly monged it is an improvement, however, is beyond me.

I dont get that at all

I dont think that all people who criticize the Enzo are fan's of VW buses. Im a huge fan of VW buses and I dont mind the Enzo's styling.

These buses arn't quite old bangers either, you should check out a rat buses engine bay if you get a chance to see one. It is easy to get confused though, as the line between rat-look and rotten beyond repair get's blurred. People try to pass off a wreck as a 'rat-look', when it isn't. All true rat-look buses are stucturely sound and often have some surface rust. a lot of rat-look dont have rust at all though! The paint is normally totally stock (so very faded) and dents are left in. Most rat-look buses are also ex-commercial.

If you don't get it then don't worry! Horses for courses...

I have the feeling that most of the people who have posted this thread would have a total synapse shutdown if they visited www.hoodride.com

That car reminds me of your facial hair, so scruffy no-one of substance could ever take it seriously

penski · 13 Mar 2006 at 13:01

Define 'substance'...

I could say that the only people who didn't 'get' my beard were waxed-chest metrosexuals with a fear of masculinity...
