[Chirish1234]

So I bought this car about 2 years ago.

-Rebuilt the carbs
-Rear brakes replaced.
-Fuel tank replaced
-Interior put together
-Painted GREEEEEEN


Plans
-5x8 springs
-Bilstein HD's all around
-All poly bushings
-17x8 mesh wheels
-2" exhaust
-Front brakes finished
-CLEAR COAT.
-DUMPED AND FLUSH.....damnit

But it sits like this untill I have the time and money next summer

[Yogi_Bear]

tons of potential for this car and awesome work so far

[-Erik-]

I like your plans!
Miss my old 69-142 when i see this! Subscribed!

[Marsss]

you must like Volvos!! lol watching this

[Chirish1234]

@Yogi_bear-Yea, It's come a long way from being primered and not running to it's potential in a garage in albany, NY lol. This summer it should be on the road and this spring is when progress should start to speed up

@-Erik- Thanks!

@Marsss- Why yes, yes I do :P I have a 1983 245 Turbo wagon as well for my other project and a 1995 Volvo 850 Turbo as my DD.


Also I've figured out what wheels are going on, not 17x8 but 16x8 GTA wheels. Figured on going 215/40/16 on them...Not sure what would be a good stretch and fender filling for when it's lowered though.

I love old school cars. Can't wait to see the progress on this.

Hottness.

As a serious question, why didn't you do any bodywork on it before you painted it? The dents on the rockers, the rust holes not patched/filled... makes it look kind of half-assed. :/

Either way, I love old project cars like this, and I'm pumped to see where this goes.

It was primer for the first year and I just wanted it one color. I know it wasn;t proffesional but most of the dented rusted body panels will be replaced and can be painted afterwords. And hopefully it will come out just riiiigggght.

Nick, this car looks terrible. You should scrap it.

it looks miles better than his old blue one.

even though those pictures are over a year old and it still looks the same...

[Chirish1234]
