volvo wagon....but with turbo

[Rebounder]

my shift knob kept sliding off mid shift which was sketchy so i threw some duck tape on the shifter to try and hold the knob on better but when i was pushing it back on the knob split in half sooooooo....time for a new one!!!


also this is what i was thinking for new wheel paint. its a rough photoshop but you get the idea

opinions/ideas?

reverse that color scheme if anything

[Jorgen]

Awesome, always loved the square headlights.

[JasonB]

lol piss mom off idea. I did the piss dad off thing years ago and got the mr2 anyways congrats man, looking great so far! I like it alot. wtf is on your shifter though?

[Volvosome]

wtf is on your shifter though?

haha well i would be driving and shift into second and the shifter knob would pop off so yo fix it i tried wrapping the shifter in duck tape then putting the shift knob back on so it wouldnt slip off but when i did this the shift knob split in half so i had to get a new one and the guy i bought it from had it all white and blacked out as part of the "stormtroopin" trend and my little brother had a storm trooper G.I. joe so i payed him a dollar to let me rip the head off and turn it into a shifter knob hence the stormtrooper head shift knob

always loved the square headlights.

thats why i got a pre 85. and i would have put square ones in if it didnt have them

[Volvosome]

well tomorrow was supposed to be the day to get it registered......but life had other plans and i got another fucking ticket. soooo getting registered is going to have to wait i have quite a bit of work lined up in the next couple of weeks though so i should be registered in the next couple of weeks

also ossie(Bronzit) and i have been talking and we are both probably going to do custom coilovers this summer since we are mowing lawns together and working at the bike shop all summer long

also some new wheels ideas have been floating around. i either want to band the turbo rims so i can get some stretch without running a bike tire lol or maybe some 16 or 17 DR steelies. i dont know i have to pay for that ticket and get registered first then we'll see where things go.
sorry for the wall of text and no pictures

If that go Joe head doesn't work out, one of my buddies took a handle off of a ski pole and has a pretty sick shifter

[Volvosome]

i just need some expanding foam to fill the inside and it will be dialed

I'm glad to see someone taking good care of Tyson's old car, you should come to the next bendubs meet!

Keep up the good work!

i have alot to live up to haha and i will

you should come to the next bendubs meet!

ill try!

[Dave-ger]

sweet, I think we have a test meet at Taylor's sausage on saturday, get on bendubs!

I thought Tyson had some Saab struts or something for that to help it not be bottomed out at it's current ride height, did he include those by chance?

[Volvosome]

no i didnt get any other struts. i got some sweet steel rims though haha

[Devocat]

for rims, id say get steelies. but thats just because im currently obsessed with them.

[Volvosome]

id say get steelies.

i think i might. its just hard to find the ones. i want deep dish ones that are 16's
and diamond racing dont make those
unless you buy custom ones and lets be realistic, i cant afford them.

[Tomzz]

Did you just rip the shifters head off? O_o
