86' Volvo 244dl "marta"

[volvo=win]

That is an awesome color green.....can't wait to see it come together

[volvo=win]

Love the colour. Interested to see where this is going!



Have you ever heard of rake? I don't think so.

What is this rake you speak of?....i use a leaf blower

@ volvo=win

he means i wont be lowering the back as much as i am the front as to get maximum use out of the low rear arches and get some poke goin in the rear.

as for stance, I will be getting adapters all around but i think i will just put them on the back to get some stagger. i like the look of widened steelies so that idea is stuck in my head hardcore. in the future im sure ill find some old ferrari rims that will just make marta come together all the better.

obviously there is now straight outa the box coilover set for 240s so like i said before, ipd springs will be in the works and some new shocks. im thinking of just piecing together a set of coilovers to put on this baby.

Well it was a bit of a lazy day today. my friend had a house warming party last night so i slept most of the day. all i managed to get done was sanding of the lip which honestly i did a shitty job on that just cause its winter and i know it will be getting a bit roughed up.





Oh yea i totally forgot but ive been toying around with some grill ideas. obviously i love the no badge grill but then i got to thinking and said why the hell cant i just cut those angled arms off the center volvo badge and have that just in the middle. its kinda reminds me of a K car grill lol but here are some pics of that.

yup this is my plain black grill i have laying around fooooor maybe a good photo shoot later on when i get her looking decent.



stock grill with the angle arms cut off the sides of the badge.








and for the only reason that Im driving around a sweet lil 240. I wasnt even going 25 mph when this happened. im so ashamed of this crap, hopefully someone will buy my s70 off me. motor runs great no turbo leaks or anything. i miss this car... oh well i have a correct wheel drive car again. lols

lol stance????



I dont think so

[volvo=win]

Here are your straight out of box coilovers.....http://www.kaplhenke.com/index.php?o...d=33&Itemid=32

great seller aswell

[jer19423]

well fark yea man, i did not realize kaplhenke was making things for the 240. Ill be sure to keep this in mind when i go to look at getting coil overs

thank you!!!!!!

[jer19423]

omg yes this kinda poke is what im aiming for. nothing to ridiculous but juuuuuuust right.

This kind of poke?

[bmw325e30]

[volvo=win]

well fark yea man, i did not realize kaplhenke was making things for the 240. Ill be sure to keep this in mind when i go to look at getting coil overs

thank you!!!!!!

your welcome....just curious you said you were selling your s70 how much you looking to get?


I had a 240 just like yours, but it was blue and slammed but no poke

[Nicolaus Pro]

Pokes not hard to get on these cars. I love that green color, but may I suggest cutting the leftover tabs off on the grill?

[sacrifice]

Not really a fan of the grill with the slash removed. That's what makes it a volvo. 244s are sweet though.

[jer19423]

yea ive been thinking about cutting all the tabs off of my black grill. I just like the way it looks with out the slash lol makes it look kinda plain at first glance. but who knows i might just go with no volvo symbol and just the black slats.

and yea Ive put the s70 in our local paper for 3k. I loved that s70 but i mean its whatever id like to see it go to an owner who will keep it clean and maybe stance it a bit lol.

[jer19423]

so it rained a little bit today, enough to wet the road and make it slick. that being said I was drifting around pretty much every corner just playing with it. its prone to kick back and be very unpredictable with the open diff so i think im going to be welding that up sooner rather than later.

after this post im going to go out to the garage and finish putting the black lip on, ill take pics and post when im doneskies.

here are some shots over in the west end waiting around for someone.

[Nicolaus Pro]

Yeah, I think they look pretty good with just a plain grill up front. Makes people wonder

[dav3design]

That rocks!
