    It's back!

    Hi all!

    After a lot of work, we finally got our 850 technically almost perfect again. It's running like it never did before, and imho it looks stunning under the hood.
    A lot of cleaning, replacing parts, finding oem parts that were missing and doing the maintenance stuff (like banjo bolts), we're ready to get it to a painter. It'll be completely repainted in the original Calypso red as it should be.

    My dad and I are seriously happy with the results. All comments/tips and remarks are still welcome. Perfection is in details

    Cheers!

    Great job and choice on changing out those air filters, The oil they require would Kill your Mafs over a short while.

    An amazing transformation. Finding all the bits and pieces to make it stock again is no small feat.
