- The project started as a 760GLE with B28 V6 K-jet injection and AW71 auto tranny. The engine was dead (timing chains were broken, valves bent and the cams round from lack of lubrication). The engine and tranny was removed forever.....
- The B23E project started. The engine and transmission came of an '82 240GLT donor. The project turned out to be a great experience. The engine was great, high compression and K- camshaft made the car really dynamic...But there is never enough power. Yes I wanted more....
- I have bought an '84.5 245 Turbo Intercooler. The car was eaten by rust, but the engine was perfect. Of course I have implanted the B21FT into my 760. I'm really happy with the results of the last conversion. It must be something with the sound of whistling turbo and the other cars vanishing in my mirrors...!
