yea, i think they look kind of stupid.. anyway, they didnt fitt anymore..

[volvo242]

made some adjustable tourqe rods for the rear axel, not so good looking but they will do the jobb for now.. ill make new ones before the car goes on the road! so now the axel and wheels position is right!




Did some work on the rollcage to!

I think e30 m3 with flap could be cool

Jævlig rå bil!

[volvo242]

did some welding the other day! ive just started TIG welding so its not perfect!




Had to put some bodyparts on the car, since we had a small "fotoshoot" in our garage!

`

I should get the pics from the fotoshoot later this week so expect a update with better pics soon!

[volvo242]

well, the photos is here, but photobucket wont let me upload high resolution pics! so, this is it for now

white balance would help a bit

can't wait to see this thing rolling/sliding

wicked exhaust and diffuser man

[OrangeBlue]

Really nice build so far.

Have you decided about the spoiler yet?

Maybe something like the E46 M3 rear trunk, it would suit the car perfekt imo.

The exhaust tips stay like that or is there a ''stage 2'', maybe straight ones...

What color are you going for?

Btw: The XC on the trunk is killin' it


Greetings

I am so wet

Awesome build man, can't wait to see the finished product!

I just bought GTR-D's about a month ago as well. Gotta say, they look a hell of a lot better in red haha.

Havent decided about the spoiler yet, but`right now im leaning towards no spoiler at all!

Exhoust tips is staying like this, but the difuser has been cut down a litle.. ill see if i can take a pic of that..

hehe, the XC was put there before i lowerd it it was kind of high with the oversize wheels, raised arches and stock springs..

[volvo242]

Cut the difuser so it folows the rear of the car better.
