Funny this is, the guy is building (built?) a W7 R3 motor and built his own custom upper control arms and strut rods. He isn’t a “stock only” kind of guy. So it must just be how he likes it.
Forums and the internet are so one dimensional. I would have guessed the guy was a restorer or something. Looks like he is almost the polar opposite. If I hadn’t gotten curious about his car (assuming the car in his avatar is his), I would never have guessed what he had done to it nor what he is capable of doing.
