Default DailyDriver in the making

Car hasn't been on the road since 2002, but was only on the road for a few weeks then

killed my daily before x-mas and started to work on this

It's an 81 924turbo that had a bad engine, changed the engine, stiffer spring in the wastegate, front mount intercooler, lowered 51inches

9''inch wheels in front and 10'' in the rear O.Z. Futura

Still working on an few details before i put in on the streets, but it's running 14psi and the power is alright haha

Love the wheels!

It's Amazing! The body looks all beatup and trashed. There is no front bumper.. The Mirror is all cockeyed..

But then you see the Wheels, the Beautiful wheels, and somehow the car all comes together and looks Awesome!!!

Nice DD for sure! Cheeers

i've always wondered how the 924 turbo compares to the 951 once you start upping the boost...

I'd quite like to see a 'native' Icelandic 9xxx. I imagine it would be blonde, and the stereo would only play Black Metal.

after massive abuse for one year, the rear end drive thingy don't know the the word. ripped from the body and that ment i'd have to fix it

So i sold it for parts

740 with oem lsd

I had a washer tank in the trunk with tvo pumps, water and soap made a hell of a difference for an 120 hp automatic
