Tim,

> Does it make any strange, wonderous sounds

Indeed it does, and the sounds can only be described as
truely "classic 70's".

Clangorous sounds come from the heavily altered (read as: trashed)
transmission. Interesting rhythmic patterns are experienced while
rolling, which is largely due to the bald tires (patterns can be
altered by rotating the tires). It also has an amazing low-end
rumble, thanks to the missing muffler.

Although it isn't as modular as Florian's Fiat, it very shortly will
be, as rust is taking care of that.
