My shit 940.

[Matt]

Guy got back to me, will be getting those front strut housings next weekend.

[Matt]

Oh, I know ;]

I plan on adding V90 skirts, and either using the factory rear bumper, or repairing the SE rear bumper and using that.

Shot from staggered.


Hopefully getting a set of front strut housings next weekend at Carlisle, which means I can have them converted to coilovers and slapped on the car!

also, i really **** my thread title.

now for something completely different, kinda.
...and this is what the front looks like on a 940 wagon:


Those euro headlights and signals are definitely in the works as well. If I manage to get this kit on and everything, I'm definitely gonna have to step up my wheel game.

If you look closely you will se that this car is equipped with oem-sideskirts from Volvo V90. And, if I am not mistaken, also the rear bumper is from V90.
The rear bumper is almost bolt-on for your car. As long as you use the mounting brackets from V90 and redrill the holes in the frame rail on the car.

I've got a lead on the super rare, 1991 only 740 SE body kit. It definitely has seen beter days, but access to a body shop would probably put me at about $6-700 for the whole kit shipped here, repaired and primered. Called a few dealers the day before finding this just to get some prices, and my cost for the whole kit would be $4,800 from them.

I'd be using the front and rear bumpers, and finding some other sideskirts, as I think the kit ones are ugly.

Here it is on a 740 SE:

I am confused on how your american volvo looks better than most of our swedish volvo's!

It's not, honest!

Love your volvo! You going to the uconn show this sunday?

I had planned on it, but me and a friend decided last minute to go to Thompson instead for the Whelen Modified Tour race.

Stock and not-so.

Should be getting lowered in time for Staggered on May 5th.

Also, I'm toying with some other wheel ideas, even though I like these a lot.

Here's a quick phone photo from today after the racetrack.

[Matt]
