142 Track day car! :)

[Dylan144GT]

Hey Everybody

SO, this is quite exciting....

As most of you have probably gathered by now, I have a '68 B18 142S. A friend and I want to strip it and make a track day car out of it. The thing is is that its quite rusty and we would like some input from the forum as to the feasability of this car being a track day car. We are essentially going for a bare metal racer. I am posting some photos of the car for your inspection. The photo collection is just skin deep at the moment but we will be posting some close ups of the problem areas after the weekend.

Would love some input as far a modification go too. Any tricks and advice welcome. This is a DIY excercise(except for the obvious machining work) and based on a student budget so its not gonna be the fastest 142 ever raced but its gonna run on alot of high octane enthusiasm and Volvo passion!

Thanks Guys and hope you guys enjoy following this project as much as we are going to enjoy working on it!

Dylan

To infinity and beyond...
