86' Volvo 244dl "marta"

Not bad. I'd prefer it with the sash on the grille, but whatevs. Different strokes.

It looked like shit IMO, I tried it with the slash.

On my other car, I left the slash because the grill was alot bigger and it looked much better.

the offset volvo on the older 240s definitely looks better than the centered logo. it would be sweet to offset it on a newer model.

i found a lambda sond volvo grill at the junk yard and i figured i might take the badges off it and put it on mine haha, idk its just the grill and i might just take the badge off i had it off for a while, meh. not that big of deal.

buuuut i think tomorrow I will be doing some suspension work on her. i just want some lowness cause im tired of feeling like an alligator.

Lambda sond badges are sweet. Chop the springs and see how you like it. Where are you located?

Yesterday I put the front lip back on from being shitilly painted a metallic black which the only reason I did that was cause winters here so shits gonna get muffed up anyways, but anywho, I flipped the lip and Im going to cut that lip off on the top side of the lip lol so it will look sleeker than all retarded.

I'll have pics up tomorrow of what ive done and what my ideas were for Better Lip Lookage.

ok so here are some pics

not to proud of the stupid tab that runs along the bottom of the lip im gonna cut that off in the am.











and this is garretts little race built bmw 2002 we take some dirt roads in this sometimes to get some inspiration lol

If you're low enough, the tabs on the bottom of the lip will get ground off. We like to consider this a "self-correcting issue".

Flipped airdams are awesome on 200s.

ok sorry to take forever on posting some new pics and updates. ive had a little bit of a time working on my new daily driver project a c70 latest edition to the pack.

but yea below that are the updated pics of the 244 after i cut the lip off the lip lol that sounds wierd but yea it made all the difference in look and it will look even better when the front is lower. im just waiting on some warmer weather to get up in this bitch and make her purrrrr lol.

I know its been forever since ive updated this but I've just been really busy.

One problem i keep having is the damn brake from from the right caliper keeps getting cracks and i keep replacing it and having to bend it myself and I can never get the bend close enough to the threaded part so its not hitting up against the strut. i mean its whatever but i guess ill have to find the right bend so its not so fragile.

also here are some pics of it lowered now.



I didnt lower the back end cause im not slamming it to the ground until I get some widened steelies, and spacers for the back end. I think its low enough for just sitting on stock rims and huge gigantic ass tires. ugh i cant wait to get some 16 inch widened steelies. but yea i think rear spacers will solve the problem of the back end looking so sunk in.

I guess it will just even out the look.

needs lowering, some fat 16" rims and original front fender
