1996 Turbo Tank

[walter leever]

I'm a newbie here,and there comes a time that you have to show yours............so here she is.
It's a BTCC-icon,at least that's the way i came to know it,the pics of Rydell and Lammers throwing it around the corners,somethimes on two wheels,still come to mind when i look at mine.
Mind you i've never tried it.Still loving it to bits,after 8 years.It a real sleeper.It's having a bit of a cult-status nowadays.
Walter.









Hope you'll like it...............................i do

lovely, cant help but think it would look better with black headlights though

I.e open them up and paint all but the reflector parts black, would look evil then!...oh and those indicator bulbs which are chrome, but flash yellow)

Excellent looking Ovlov, looks really good on the R wheels, only thing I'm not sure about is the head lamps!

Now then,after reading Andy's and Kerry's threads,i thought it was time to dust off my topic about the turbo tank(since we're putting so much 850's threads on now,i thought"1 more shouldn't hurt(lol)

I'li start by making it a bit more updated:

What has happened since the last input(more than a year ago,shame on me)
A new front bumper (VST-item,bit like the BTCC models)

And after that i wanted a lip,so TC5Craig) made one for me(and a few others)

And here fitted.

So what more?
few pics from a meet&greet(complete with a bbq.



After that my windshield met it's nemesis(a big stone)so put in a new one:

And did a few upgrades to the tank:

[walter leever]

By this time i wanted something different for the rear bumper ,and contacted TC(Craig)again if he would make a custom rear bumper.
He said he would look into that,and started on it a while later.
First phase:


second phase:


While this was going on,i noticed that my interior was tattered,so looked for options,and finally i found a sollution in the form of a nearly new T-5R interior.
Picked it up,and this guy,had a real nice red R.


gr,walter

Edited by walter leever on Wednesday 1st September 10:15

[walter leever]

So now the interior is in,and i'm very happy with it.



In the mean time put some new rubber on the car(Goodyears,i love them)


And this week got the pics from the 3rd phase of the bumper(now nearly finished)




So try and keep this thread updated,for now,

Thanks,matey.
Well there's only 1 remedy for it;go out and buy one,lol.
They're now very cheap(due to the enviremental discussions going on and off course the crisis we had)

gr,walter

ps,a lot of car for little money.

Mind you i bought mine over 9 years ago,so payed full price.
