Wonder if that could be @lafngrvy 's car...

Doing an engine swap before the race on cobblestones back in the day... incredible.

All kinds of cool stuff on that motor:
- Kugelfischer hanging on the side
- Coolant hose coming out of the block drain plug
- Cool little engine stand... as long as you don't need to drop the pan
- Mechanics at work in leisure shirts and pants

The red & white stripes of sponsor UFO Jeans.
That appears to be in the Nürburgring paddock, probably for the '77 Grosser Preis der Tourenwagen.
By amazing coincidence, most of the images in this old poster are of that very car...

Yes, that's how it was done years ago, even in Formula 1... outside, in the dirt, on the grass and even in the rain.
We could do a whole thread of old racing paddock pictures :)
