    Daz's Project 850 T5

    As some of you may know this car ill start off by saying it was a pleasure dealing with a fellow member ANTZ who was very honest about the car and the transaction was one of the smoothest I have had

    So here you go guys, i now own "Project FUBAR"

    For those who dont know this project she is a 1995 850 T5, no a/c, no cruise, no rear electric windows, no electric seats, the best model in my eyes as I bet without all that its probably 100kgs lighter so a good start

    She has reached a healthy 199k just about to reach the 200k mark and still sweet as a nut

    Lots of plans to date so thought id share the progress with you

    So here is is, the day she arrived







    1st thing to do was get a new battery on but the one i have is way to big so it will do for now, the next thing was wheels and tyres as the tyres that were on were FUBAR lol so i got the Thors off my S60 as the tyres are basically new and to be honest, quite like the look! Get a recon on them and they should look just right









    Got my blacking plate through for the new 16T turbo to go on



    Thats all for now folks, plenty more to come but will update when it happens

    Stay tuned

    Managed to get a little done on Fubar earlier, not as much as I wanted but when you have bolts that have been on for 18 years... they dont want to come off in a rush lol

    So here is what i have been up too















    Just got the fronts to do but waiting on the polybush kit as its pointless on undoing everything twice! The suspension is settling nicely but too dark to get another pic, here is how it looks side on with the fronts not done



    Hate waiting for parts! haha

    Stay tuned folks

    watching the suspension upgrade with interest as after the laps of Silverstone, I'm of the belief that I need to upgrade mine and fit a strut brace and do the bushes
