[Skraight.]

I've never noticed this build before. Amazing craftsmanship, following this for sure.

mounted the front suspension, With all the goodies

coilovers adjustable between 80 - 170 mm lower then Stock :P



and working to finish the custom rear axle! 10cm wider the the 240 axle, and adjustable coilovers (same ish as the front)

[volvo242]

so, time for a few new pics :P

Made a Paint booth in Our garage

[volvo242]

so, since the 740 rear axle is wider then the 240, I dont need spaceres anymore

redrilled the bolt pattern, so now i can just move the bolts between 5*108 and 5*114,3!



since a lot of my engine parts is out, i have just been tinkering a little here and there :P
Front bumper mod step 2 :P





this bumper will only be used as a mold, bumper will be cast in Carbon fiber!

Along with the rear bumper, dashboard and a few other parts

[volvo242]

almost finished welding the manifold now :P









the engine block is at a machine shop right now, they are boring out the sylinders and putting in Ductile iron sleeves custom orderd from L.A. sleeves!
And the 16v head is also at a shop :P long story short: 3 angle valve seats, bronze valve guide`s, stock valves, porting of intake and exhoust, match porting inntake manifold to the head ports ++ head will easly do the 750 hp im aiming for!

Whoa, coming together sweet!

Where in Norway are you located ? I was around a few weeks ago, would've loved to pay a visit..

[volvo242]

cut out some steel on the inside of the front fenders tires was rubbing :P

left 3mm that i hamerd flat for strength!

so, "plenty" of space now!





if you look closely, you can see where the next problem is, the tires is just 2-3 cm from the top of the wheelhouse! but since this car is a registered road car, im not tuching it! :P

[volvo242]
