Cuddlebear from up north

[Olav'en]

Eavning folks

I'll try my best to introduce myself.
In andvance, sorry for my poor english knowledge

I'm new on the forum and new to the game
21 year's old cuddlebear grown up on a small farm in Norway; Voss


At this time im a aprentice as car painter and also do a little panel beating, welding etc.
I was a carpenter before, but had a bad car acident some years ago where i injured my back rather badly (three prolapse of the lower back and breaking the spine)



Been into everything with motors since i was a little kid, got my first cross bike when i was 11 and my first car when i was 13 or 14.

I hope to get my hands on a mk1 caddy pickup which hopefully will be quite low and wide by the time I'm done with it.

Enugh said, here's some pictures:

My old Volvo 940 turbo before the acident:






And then:






My car's atm:

69' Volvo Amazon, easily modified:


79' Volvo 242 turbo project:


91' Volvo 245, daily car:


82' Toyota hilux, wreck car:


I also have a Volvo 740 turbo icetrack/drifting project and some Volvo 24x part cars.

[Olav'en]

Thnx guys, much appreciated

Future plans for the Amazon is to weld a little rust, strighten up some panels, fit the rear fender better, paint the car burgunder (same as the 940 turbo), the grill and some other chrome gun metallic and the wheels white, tint the windows, lower it some more and try to fit the wheels better.

A illustration photo a friend of me made:


The 242 is going true a major rust repair atm, beeing dropped over some wheels from http://www.imagewheels.co.uk/, painted copper orange, turbo engine, bmw transmition, poly bushings, bilstein shocks, IPD anti roll bars etc. Aiming for 320 - 350hp on the rear wheels

Impressive collection you have there.




Is that the Getrag or ZF transmission you're using?

[staytuned05]

hell to the mother fuckkin yeah

[Olav'en]

Okin: Getrag 265, from an e28 528i i think that was. Going together with volvo clutch housing, 6- puck disc and Sachs 763 pressure plate. Would hopefully last for more than a week or two, unlike the volvo ones
