Introducing: The Least Stanced Car on Stanceworks!

Oooh nice!

i love the attention to detail

Thanks guys!

I got it all back together today, ran the new harness, got everything reinstalled, and got it on the charger. When I went to start it, it turned over but wouldn't start, got out and saw that the fuel line was soaked...so now I have to remove the intake manifold again to replace the fuel line but at least it looks better now

Well I haven't been able to drive the car for a while, I thought the alternator went out and in the process of replacing it I found out that the main lead to the alternator had disintegrated from the engine harness, the thing was completely toast. So I ripped the harness out and sourced a new one from Dave Barton, he makes brand new harnesses for these old Volvos and worked with me to adapt his 1979 harness for mine, super helpful dude! Anywho, while it was sitting I decided to clean up the engine bay a little and paint some things, I should have it all back together tomorrow!





sprayed it crinkle black






sanded off the lettering, ready to go!


put it back on and then started cleaning the bay and block a little bit


then moved onto the intake manifold






and thats where I left off today, gonna get the harness and intake installed tomorrow and it should be good to go!

I saw the car at the garage sale this weekend; looks GREAT! I saw it last year at RSI and was blown away by how clean the interior was, and now I'm blown away with just about everything else!

Thanks man! That was a fun show, a little bummed I didn't win Best RWD but that's alright haha

One of the best cars on this site IMO.

Did you paint your white walls on new or old tires? I read they brown super fast on new tires.

Thanks man! I painted them on the tires that were on the car when I got it.They would get super dirty but every time I washed it, they would whiten right up, I was very impressed with how well the paint held up. I think I'm going to do the whitewalls on the old tires as my winter set up.
