Welcome to my never ending GKD Legend build. The car became road legal in September 2011. The Swedish summers are fantastic but to survive the dark winters I always have a long list of improvements to do. The 1900cc 4 cylinder engine comes from a RHD 1998 BMW 318is M44. It has been upgraded many times over the years with eg. Mini Cooper S Eaton M45 Super Charger taking it from 140 to 220HP. (Parts list Jan 2020)

Another challenge
I thought I had better check to see if I could get a trailer sorted for when I fetch the kit and donor parts. Well in Sweden just now it's winter and in winter it seems all the trailers available for rental have winter tyres with spikes. That's okay in Sweden but in Europe spiked tyres are not allowed! So what do I do? Wait until the 1st of April when the tyres are changed; like hell no! So far the solution is to hire a 9m3 trailer with spikes which also has with it summer tyres and then change to summer tyres at the border! It's a real pain but definitely doable and probably the only choice I have. I’m not sure of the consequences if I drive without changing them and get caught!
