Some Volvo Love....

[ghoster]

I always thought stanced cars had to have a rust body panel, be slammed, big lips and had to be covered with tacky stickers.My roommate's stanced ,but clean E30 rubbed off and grew on me. Thought I had no chance since I have a 240 brick (Grandma beater car). Got to meet Mr. Burroughs and his posse at Formula Drift. Loved the laid back attitude and knew this was the place to help me stance my 240. Turbobricks is good, but not SW good.



Put an egg crate grill in there for a Euro look to match the Euro turn signal covers. Used a donated E30 bumper to make custom clips so the grill doesnt look buck toothed



Roommates (E30-Pre Image wheels/240--> Pre egg crate)



About to wrangle up some E50 16x8 BBS and some coilovers this summer. Got to start somewhere. Glad I got two jobs.

Welcome to the forums. Theres a handful of volvo guys kicking around here

Good to see some other 240's on here. These cars are a good bit of work to get fitted, just like any other car. A tip when you roll the fenders, use a 5lb sledge, a fender roller wont do shit. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions

Always looking for excuse to whore mine haha

[ghoster]

I'm going to need LOTS of help. Going to be worth it though. I get tired of all these Bimmers, need so 240 love in SW.

Hey dude! glad to see you joined! And it was good to meet you at formula D too. I had no idea you had one of these. Helped a buddy of mine putting one together last summer. We put in a B230FT then he cut a bunch of stuff to get his low. Apparently it's really hard to find suspension for them, but worth the extra work to get them where you want cause they're just so cool

[ghoster]

Yeah Cory I've always been embarrassed about the Volvo so I fail to mention it when I'm around car people. 99% of people made fun of it ,but it's starting to grow on me.

Would these help me get on the ground?http://www.kaplhenke.com/index.php?o...d=33&Itemid=32

Seems like true coilovers are hard to find for 240s.

Sorry to thread Jack Ghoster, can't wait to see your car with the coilovers you seek.

[JasonB]

I know i'm 4 months late, but you don't have another thread for this car.
I think we need some more pictures of what it looks like now...
