Also, Adam - I was trying to explain to my friends about your car. What car is the drivetrain from? I couldn't remember if it was XC90 or what.

An AWD V70 (i think)

I didn't see you, Mark, but I think I saw everyone else from V3M who was in attendance. Good day. That Quattro was insane. Gutted I didn't have the 343 ready :(

I believe Adam's donor was an 850 AWD with a new/nearly new angle gear. There looks to be quite a bit more under the bonnet than when I last looked, though. I also love the paint job on the Tritons. Very cool car.

cheers

Yeh my doner was an 850 AWD estate, but gearbox and angle gear from a later v70 awd, coupling shaft from S60R.
Foggy i have updated the build thread for the 850R much more done since last time. Now K24 etc. look in general for non 300 daily.
