      Probably be down 2-3 months at best. Already have the head and gasket. Just waiting on turbo, and head studs. Then just some misc stuff like belts and junk.

          Thanks I appreciate it. Saw the Cressida wagon and it looks sick!! The wheels on mine are actually from a newer Volvo. I'll start taking pics when I rip into the motor in the next couple weeks.

            My first car was a 1990 240DL haha. I loved it! The back makes a perfect little bed when you lay the back seats down for..... yea

            It just died with like 400,000 miles on it! I think my family is going to give it to the junk yard but i'm going to try to get them to keep it so I can work on it a bit.

            You just gave me more inspiration to do that. Nice build!

              What front lip is that?
              It's cool to see more bricks on here.

                I'm sure that car still has tons of life left in it!!

                That's actually the stock lip turned upside down and trimmed a bit. Sucks when it gets towed but lets be honest that rarely ever happens. It's pretty rare other than TurboBricks to see bricks posted at all. I'm glad you guys like it.

                        S60 T5 to be exact. However that changed in 07 to really any car that Volvo decided to randomly throw them on.
