No I've not changed my car, but our 300-series has got a big brother now. We just picked up a -82 244 GL, it's got B23A, tubular exhaust manifold, Simons exhaust, only minus is that it's NA and equipped with Pierburg, but who cares, it's easy to slap on twin carbs or inejction.. (Or might even boost it, though I'm not the one who's going to be driving it so injection/decent carbs should be enough.. and I would have to do something about compression if I would turbo it, because now it's got something around 10..)

Bodywork is very nice for a car of it's age, some minor surface rust on the inner side of driver's side rear door, but that's easy to take care of.

It's got 1031 with LSD, 16" wheels with 205 tires, clear indicators etc.. I'm going to ditch the tinted windows though.

I was surprised by the performance, I was expecting it to be a lot slower, it pulls nicely for daily driving.. being an quite stockish NA engine. I'll stick with my 360 turbo though. :)

Soon we need own subsection for these boats :lol:

Looks nice indeed, surprising that it is not feeling very slow.

Colour is nice too, rust won't stand out from that ;)
