The Quest to Stance a Volvo

[VanDamage]

Looks really good!

Started goofing around with this pic, the paint doesn't match with this light, the quarter panel and door looked so far different I probably wont spend too much time playing with it.

My fav Vo. Love all the MB wheel choices. Carlssons look stellar

Last night, I did a thing.

Just made it myself, took a vent, punched out the grilles, cut an insert panel and a hole in the middle. I need to re-do it and allow more airflow. Defrost wasn't a huge deal this past winter with this pod.

I would personally use the center console vents for that, you dont have proper demist on the window when you fit the gauge like on JVC:s car

Good point, I still would love to know if it was custom or if he bought it somewhere so I can look into in further.

noticed your boost gauge it fitted into the drivers side AC vent. I've seen this on a couple s70/v70's and now i definitely want to do it. did you make it yourself (and how did you make it??) or is there somewhere I can order one

This car is a real inspiration, makes me think I should lower my coupe more Nice progress, please post lot of pictures when you get the parts on!

Moved it into my new "garage" at my new apartment. It needs to be cleaned and some more lighting installed but it should work well for keeping me out of the elements and providing me a place to work on the car and store parts!

Also, turn signals, alarm, and radio mysteriously all stopped working, all signs point to a faulty ignition switch. So I picked one up.

Carlssons might go on Sunday pending weather/work schedule! So excited for spring to finally be here!

Small Update, I'm moving on Tuesday to a new apartment that has a 1 car garage! I've got a lot of work to do and stuff to address before SoWo in May, finally the weather is warming up though so that will make it much easier to get stuff done.

Replace Ignition Switch
Install TME Exhaust
Install TKI rear spring perches and stiffer 8" springs
Drop off spare R Bumper for shaving and Paint work
Touch Up all paint chips and address small rust bubbles in a few spots
Paint Wheel wells with Undercoating
Get tires mounted to Simmons Wheels/test fit
Install Adapters and Carlssons/Simmons
Full Detail before SoWo

Might add a few other things pending time/funds before SoWo as well (Lip Spoiler, Jewels, Tint?)

Here's a pic for the meantime from its most recent wash.

Ive been a lurker on S/W for awhile and have always loved this Volvo and hope that someday my xc70 can look just as good.

Thanks man! I'm really trying to show that Volvos can be done well, Volvo guys need inspiration and often times walkthroughs on how to do stuff outside the box. I hope to see your car inspire others as well!

Thanks man! It's been neglected all winter, but that means I have lots of parts waiting to become a part of this machine!
