It's funny differences between Spanish taught in class, like that from Spain, and the Spanish they speak in SA...more like Portuguese. I almost got myself in trouble a few times. Seems Cabron means a few different things to different people.

On behalf of Alex

My name is Carlos, I am from Spain as well. I am a good friend of Alex.
He is so emotioned with his project that he called me today asking for uploading to your forum his C3 pics .... and here they are.
I appreciate a lot the good atmosphere that all of you have given to him. Thanks a lot, he needs too many clues and tips for his restoration...

could we have a look at engine and engine bay??

if you dont want to keep the car original, first thing i'd get rid are both rear and front steel protections, the wheels should go as well, also i'd get rid of the going up lights with its ancellaries and make a custom front light sistem (i had one on my vette done but i've destroyed it when i crashed into a bus last year )

Listen to Panic here...he's gotten rid of anything with any weight successfully and is always thinking of new ways to make his Vette lighter.

Welcome Alex. Don't forget that there will be times when you get disgusted working on that vette, but just think of what it will look like when you are done. Good Luck

sorry durango boy i´m in trouble yesterday i was talking with my 3 coaches and all was disapointed with you because they think that 700 r4 are more stronger than 200r4. they said that 200 r4 was good for small blocks and cars with small torque but for running and do the the beast drivin like i want to do they said to me that i have 2 ways only 700r4 with o.d and a gear box calling powerglide with( macha y patada en el culo) with 2 velocities go and a kick in your a**(you know what i mean) so i´m wooried and confused because you always said the thruth but my another coach are from venezuela ( know he´s living in barcelona)and was running with 200r4 and he broke twice this gearbox). he says too that if 200r4 was reforzated on level 3 like you show me on first run are going to broke because he thinks that it´s very light and has no ressistant to that torque .so again i need your help.

Very simply...Bowtieoverdrive.com will build that TH200R4 just as strong as the TH700R4. In normal situations...the 700 is stronger, but Bowtie will build it as strong as you need for that 502. They are right, but they just have to understand that it can be built just as strong as the 700.
