Race or original??

Just bought this car and I don't know if I should build a racecar of it or just set it back into original condition...
I would prefeer to build it as the first Rotary Estate racecar in Sweden.

Need your opinion??

Why not make it "the sleeper from hell"? It certainly has all the right features, as far as being a stationwagon and all...

That's a nice car, any specs?
Race or restore... it's always the same question, isn't it I'd probable start out trying to get it original, and end up with a racecar anyway
I'm not sure, but there probable aren't too many around, so maybe original might be cool?

If you only have the parts in the pictures, I would say "race".

What multirotor says; if those are the only parts:

checkout the aussie forums and put in a nice 20B or 13B PP

nice shopping car racer

Good find btw, you dont see much of those Estates here in europe, there have not been many sold in europe as far as i know.

I do think that you made the choce easy for me...
But a racecar where already my plans, just wanted a second opinion.
The next chiose I'll have to do is if it should be built for track or drag?
Track with a stationwagon would be cool!

That must be one off the most stupid questions I ever heard! *LOL*
Danes??? haha
What's the choice? Pistons are fore the imbecile...

I do have a 6-port with a Eaton M90 SC which I think would do the job.
What about that?
