Refreshing and new suit for my SAVO F1

Post by javigtr »

My beloved SAVO. Stored from 1999 it's time for a inspection and refreshing all parts. I thing a new colour scheme could be a good idea too.
I'll keep you informed.
Cheers,
Javier

Alu diff cover. Instead the stock plastic unit which is very sensible to heat.
