I like the third one. I like the dished momo mod07 best of all the momo wheels if you are considering anything else.

I like the third one but.....since you are so close to an original stock car I like the idea of the original style 968 wheel. This car, in it's original form in 87 through 89 was one of the best ownership experiences of any car I have owned and the wheel fit nicely with that package.

Keep up the good work guys.

I think who drives it should decide. Comfort and visibility should be in mind

Finally some free time. Went with my eldest son to the track see some action. A friend of mine rented this track for a day and invited some friends to have some fun
There where cars from Finland & Sweden + one Norweigan, but Paul lives in Finland

Hi Olli
Are you planning to use the car in winter? I saw that you anodized parts on the GAZ suspension, but did you do anything else?
I just put on a set of GAZ Golds and I painted them so they wont rust/corode too bad over the winter.
I had a set of Bilsteins Escort cups, and they looked horrible after just one winter.

My new GAZ:


My bilstein after one winter:

Son's 951 will see summer use only, so it won't meet "mild" finnish winters. It is possible we put a clear powder coat on GAZ's though. Some of the parts were re-anodized, because GAZ's blue differs too much from other red anodized parts......
Do they put a lot of salt on Norweigan roads?

Yes, they use a lot of salt. As soon as there is ice on the roads, all major roads are salted. They even have a stronger salt now than they used to. A lot of rust problem. Even new cars are hit by rust due to the salting.

Realy good project by the way. Keep up the good work!
