So much sweetness in here. I really want one of these model Volvos in a sedan. Keep us updated sir.

[carter]

Fuck you dont even need the wood paneling in the trunk, that air setup with the amp in there is absolutely clean as hell...

I like this thing, dont know why, but I really like it...

[carter]

Damn, very nice progress. Your car is a huge inspiration to me, the trunk setup is super clean. I'd love to do bags on my 245 as well, I have to build my B230ft and swap that in first.
Excited for more progress!

Wow thanks man. I hope your able to use some ideas, tweak them and make them your own and maybe better

My inserts came in today. Got excited and tossed them in as soon as I got home lol







And here's a good old before pic:



I'll get better pics when it's not so dark out. It's sad when it gets dark around 8 or 9... :/ usually means snow is on it's way.

woot woot!!!

Well, small update...didn't get as much done as I thought I was going to.

But I wrapped another panel



Found a sweet little handle, haven't installed it yet because I also found one of those clicky magnetic door latches you see on cupboards and installed it under the rear part of the floor. So now I can get away without having a handle at all. Clean vs. bling. I picked clean but heres a picture anyway:





Then I cut some **** up and made the rear wheels tuck. Took some measurements for the bag cups and hopefully have those made a work if I get a chance this weekend. Next week: Mon-Thurs ALL wrenching time so hopefully I can figure some **** out and have this close to being drag-able at least.







Also sprayed the box of my truck before winter hits. I know...its a long ways away but it SUCKS trying to spray it in a cold garage and it doesn't set properly.

[carter]

Thanks!

My York 210 :P EDC FTW. (I'll have an electric back up eventually)



I didn't really get up to much on the car today, spent some time longboarding and then went to the Rod Shop for some inspiration on the air tank mounts. Talked a bit to one of the guys about the car and what I should do...

I had a few ideas but I just couldn't even out the angles so they would be symmetrical.





But then said fuck that and cut off the mounting ears off the tank. They were ugly anyway.







The inside will be lined with a foam padding, and the outside will be covered by 2 identical vintage belts. For your pants belts. Now I just have to find an antique store nearby...

- Also the bolts in the bottom won't be there. I just fed some ready rod threw with some nuts to suck it close to the tank for the time being.

love it, 5 stars from me!!!

Had another day off work and got into the floor.

Here we go, I've never really worked with wood, only metal. In fact I'm pretty sure I recall telling myself I'd never be able to work with wood...well, I dug out my grampas old jig saw he left me when he passed away last year. It's pretty old, but it holds sentimental value so I made it work.



Test fit:








Test fit with stain



Next is to mount the tank I suppose...the stainless runners will be another 10 days or so (4 week wait total :/ )
