Are you useing rubber or poly bushes? Is the anti roll bar std?

Nowhere near the scale of your rebuild!!!! Building a road rally / national B 360 gle. Just focusing on improving the suspension and handling, renewing the brakes and hopefully fitting a weber 38 Dgas for some more power (only allowed two chokes for Nat B so no twin webers :( )

Hopefully I should have some pics eventually but am waiting for a few bits before I undertake all the brake and sus work.

Excellent pictures, 5 and 7 are brilliant action shots! And the incar footage is great, good camera and mount, it's not rattling about! You're a brave man driving that car with such commitment after all the work you've done! Looked like some perfect driving there.

Very Very nice smedberg!

You say you don't use notes? Why is that? In Holland everybody does.

Much respect!

And as you see : http://forum.volvo300club.nl/showthread.php?t=2443

tanks to you all who are following this thread. it´s very nice to hear what you have to say.
The reason that we don´t use notes is that I am only 17 years old yet so I have not any driving license. ( But I got 18 years in November :D ) But I drive in a class for juniors "spell?" And here are no one aloud to use notes.

Thanks to Frits who put it into the dutch forum :)

more pictures and movies will be comming after the next race. :)

take care,´ / Smedberg
