Bob, Is this battery mount in the stock location or otherwise? I ask as a poor battery mount can be bad news, either in the engine compartment or the inerior.

Its for a rallycross I am doing tomorrow. Its just a tie down for now to be within the rules.

I still have yet to really start on the car due to my father having to borrow it. I still intend to give you a call once I get going. thumbs up

Good deal, Bob. Beat it hard, as much as you dare with the drive home. (Oh, wait, your dad needs it, so you gotta lay off....)

I went all out on the car, and it took it flawlessly. Got 4th out of 10 in my class thumbs up

Jimmy ran there too, he did great, but his older car threw him a few problems.

I took some videos, If anyone is interested i'll post some up once off shitty hotel connection.

This is the point in the killing spree when you really should turn the gun on yourself

Well, John I'm not any good at it, and neither is my girl who took this vid. She is good at holding it steady though thumbs up

If you look close, you can see Jimmys beige car broked just past my car as it goes by on the "front straight'.

I'll put more vids up on that channel soon, Its been a pretty shitty day.

Let me clarify, it was a great FUN time. One of the fuses popped out right after the startline - as shown - but we just wrapped it in a bag and it's still goin no problem. Talk about some motivation to get the actual project started.

Turns out a photog was there, and put up this-

Pretty cool!

Ive started ripping out the interior... again, I doubt it, but if anyone wants any interior bits from a '90 4 door volvo 240 let me know.

Bob, you gotta paint those wheels white. or gold, or silver, anything contrasting to black... we have certain standards to maintain. Proper decorum, ya knowz...cool smiley
