Rattle/metal noise fd3s help

Hi guys!

I have a 93 fd3s in beautiful condition. Winter is here in Sweden and I was just about to put the car in the garage for winter storage when all of a sudden I got a very strange noise coming from under the hood.
It feels like I have completed the whole internet to get answers to my qusetions but I have found close to nothing.

Has anyone in here have this problem and know exactly what it is?
Here is a video of the sound I get, and yes, this is my car.
Thanks in advance!

I'd start by checking pulleys/water pump. Can't tell much from the audio. Does it just happen with acceleration? Any idea of 'where' the sound is coming from?

It is not any of the pulleys. I have checked all pulleys and bearings. I’m thinkibg about taking apart the driveshaft, transmisson and clutch to see if anything is broken in there.
I dont like this wierd sound, when I got no clue what it could be:/
