To anyone who ever wondered or asked if it’s possible to convert from auto to manual or any other seemingly daunting project; you HAVE to see THIS.

Go to:

Go: Site Map, Projects, Vallakra 2001 and look at the 6th thumbnail down the left side. I believe that’s an 850 engine doing RWD duty in a 142 (?). I’m not sure about the 142 part. Incredible. Then again, it might be a modified 960 powertrain behind the 5 cylinder. Using the 960's 6 cylinder engine would have been too easy I guess.

I REALLY like the “motion” paint job on the wheels visible in the other pic. Sigh, think I’ll go out in the garage and round off a few more bolts.
