i came in today to find a pleasant surprise

1970 Opel GT with a molded kit. the owner put dont a whopping 90rwhp and wants 200rwhp. my boss is rebuilding the motor and ordering a screw-type supercharger from sweden to make it happen.



front shot


then theres the 1962 VW beetle chassis with a fiberglass body and 1700cc built motor


the Swedish Husquarna motorcycle that is project waiting to happen


then theres the eye candy

its a Honda-designed, English-built, Bobby Rahal raced Judd-Truesport racing Indy motor from 1985
2600cc turbocharged V8
my boss wants to sell it: 5000 bucks and its all yours with plenty of spare parts and fresh rebuild



this is the turbo off of it




exhaust wheel minor diameter masurement: 84mm!!!


this is for comparison: a mighty T25 off my sr20det vs. Judd Racing turbo
