Ive had zooks since I was 19. And im officially nuts about them.

But im not a fan of normal cars and can't help but modify.

My first car was this.

Had SJs since i was 14, progressively collecting more as space allows. The more space you have the more you fill.

Got 3 to keep me busy for now.

1st car was the volvo 480, 2nd import Toyota Surf SSR-G (recaro interior model), 3rd Volvo 850 T5R (mental), 4th 58' Plate Suzuki GV (pretty much a modern fatboy), and currently have a Seat Exeo 2.0TDi Sport as the sensible car.

If i had the money, space and time i'd go buy that back tomorrow (all body work is now show condition and BHP is almost DOUBLE!)

Nah, the 480 was the wedge one with pop up lights, 1.7 injection with a powerflow s/s exhaust.

Thats one is a 2.3 turbo 5 cylinder.

That was 250 to start. The lad i sold it to swapped turbos and all sorts. Sure its 450 or something insane like that.

Not a very good video but the same car

Full 4-2-1 s/s manifold and full stainless exhaust when i had it. Limiter removed, speedo just stopped at 160mph.

AP four pot calipers, and vented discs upfront. Kevlar pads and some funky discs at £300 a piece. Went like shit off a stick.
