    I'm down for that man, if you need any help. I'm usually free on Fridays and Sundays, but I can only do so much with current health conditions. But I'll do anything to get out of the house and away from work. Lol

    haha thats definitely the truth! i have MAYBE a thousand dollars into this, and it needs another hundred or two before its perfect. im just having a lot of fun with this car. you dont need to have $5,000 wheels or a brand new car to have fun with this

    haha i appreciate it. there aren't really many stanced 740s stateside. there are a good amount overseas, but for the most part, they're usually pretty gaudy. im loving the direction im going now with it, and i can't wait to make it perfect.

    Next car deff is gonna be a Volvo!
    thats one of my favorite angles to look at the car.. something about it just looks perfect, if i can toot my own horn haha.

    sooo i woke up today and had some motivation to mess with the volvo. I went outside and waxed it, and then got to working on getting it running. i have plenty of fuel, but the lack of spark was the problem. i have brand new spark plugs and wires, and the distributor cap has MAYBE 1000 miles on it. i remembered i washed the engine a few months ago, so i started by taking the distributor cap off, and there was moisture EVERYWHERE. i dried it all out and let it air dry for a while, then put it all back together and it starts! it doesn't stay running, but thats because of the expensive-ass ignition module (freakin $150) going out. im super ecstatic that its good though! also today, i was at autozone and saw some spacers.. they're 8mm ones and they were 20 bucks, so i got them and put them on the front. its a little better, but needs more. whenever i need to get new tires on the front, i'm going to go to a 205/45 or somethign in the front and space the fronts out to make them flush, then it'll be perfect.

    front definitely needs some more spacing.. the back looks alright, but the axle isn't centered side to side. once i either cut and weld the panhard, or get an adjustable one, it'll need a few mm of spacing to get it right.

    thank you! the lip looked alright for a day, but then it looked like a tumor to me. i really like how it looks now.
