[volvo242]

well, finished the paint on the underside of my car now! i think it looks ok now :P



Next thing on the to do list is to get it down on the wheels again, but this time on coilovers! So i have started building a rear axel! took a volvo 740 axel since its 10 cm wider then the 240 axel, and strippd of all the brackets and shit :P

240 axel (with all the shit on) vs 740 axel (clean)


Started making brackets that will fitt the 240 4-link!

always loved those volvos, love your clean project keep us posted

I would never have thought about using a 700-series axle ... nice touch. Looks good so far.

Holy shit, that looks like a machine welded it. Nicely done, especially with the amount of rust on the bracket.


I'm really loving this project, however every time I see a picture of the wheels it kills my boner. With the amount of quality work going into this project, the wheels just look cheap and out of place.

hehe, good welder does the trick! i have a 500 Amp mig welder, and its fantastic to weld with! (but huge) yea, its a litle rust on the bracket, but its 6mm thick so it wont mather.. cant see it anyway when the axel is sandblasted and powdercoated!


and the wheels are staying :P cant agree on everything! but it wont be the only set of wheels
