Project AllegRo - EP8: The K20 Allegro Is On Its Wheels For The First Time! 

That was the goal!

Yes, I just can't see the point when they make them look like a hot rod

I wonder it the color is going to stay.

You know what a ‘sleeper’ is, right? 😂😂

Self-sealing bag tank?

Thanks!

Know of a 5dr one the exact same colour. Lowered on SAAB 99 Minilites 🔥😅

@@FabCoUK excellent work! 400 hp via the front wheels ought to be entertaining. lovely dog btw.

Seen one at a garage in axminster devon ,same colour !

Thanks so much!

Thanks 👍

But from the outside that’s exactly what it is, and what was wanted😃

Thanks 🙏🏻

Me too!!

You and me both!

@@FabCoUK 😅😅😅😅

Peak era 3 series!

Thanks!

More to come!

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks a lot 😊

I’m not sure he’d have much chance of changing gear 😅

The car was originally setup to be higher, but Jonny decided he wanted it lower once he saw the wheel in the arch 😊

Thanks ✌️

How could you forget?!

Sounds great!

😎

😃

That's the plan!

Thanks!

Thank you! X2

I hope so!

Thanks, but I doubt that’ll happen!

🤪

Thanks 👍

😃

The Guys are called Studio incar the owner Carl is a mad scientist like you truss 🤛🏿

They’re doing an amazing job 😃

I am equally impressed by both, but the Retropower build budget will be huge, and totally beyond the means of most. I am very impressed by how this build is going on what has to be a much smaller budget. Very clever stuff!

@@FabCoUK I seem to recall there was a guy that did a Vauxhall PA Cresta coupe, using a 4 door Cresta body and welding it to the Jaguar XK8 underpinnings. He got a lot of hate for that. I thought the hate was crazy. Personally I find the work yourselves, RP and Electric Classic Cars do is nothing short of amazing.

🤟🏻

That was the plan!

Me too. Had an old banger for 3 years in early 80s, was comfy and gave me no trouble.

@@johnnunn8688 jealous that you owned one! I just think they look nice (but I was 30 until I realised most people didn't eat kiwi fruits with the skin on - I understand I am not a normal person). Interesting how it'd be a "banger" at that point - early 80s would have made the oldest of them about 10 years old. Cars just aged differently back then I think.

@@LewisCollard, think I paid £400, deffo a banger. Modern cars are often soulless lumps but they do last far longer.

I used to own a 1980 Allegro 1750 TC Equipe which was an excellent reliable and quick car for its day - I would still have owned that car today if it wasn't written off in an accident caused by an idiot driver - it went for scrap in excellent condition apart from the accident damage as I looked after it. We also had a 1978 Allegro 1500 LE in the family at the same time which was also a very reliable and excellent car as well - both of these models of Allegro are very rare now. I always came back to my Equipe anywhere it was parked with people looking at it and in it and asking me about that car - you never got that with any other "normal" cars such as the Allegro.

Thanks 👍

Thanks!

Wheels look perfect

Now and for years to come most likely 🤣

Agronda

Thanks a lot!
