I'm really enjoying this build, especially the wood grain touches.

+1 on this

I secretly really like volvos of the era, so this is totally tits.

Got the bumper, front lip and hood back on. Still need to wetsand and polish. But its coming together nicely.




Going to finish up the rear diffuser and and paint the rear fenders this weekend hopefully.

Polished up my wheels again


Headed down to ia 2015 in atl. It was pretty fun overall.











After that i got back to work for sowo.
ordered some fabric, a magnetic oil drain, and and polished and painted more engine bits.

and some wrinkle black for the valve cover

Nice build man. I have a 98 v70r sleeper that I'm working on now so I feel your wins and the random broken shit happening. Keep the updates coming man.

Lol thanks alot man, i thought the same thing before i got it. Its not quite where i want it yet, but its coming along

Today was a pretty productive day. Didnt get to install the endlinks but i finally got the master cylinder issue taken care of.


After that i painted more things black, and slapped some gold vinyl on the hood to see if i like it or not.




I was looking for different ways to get rid of bumper gap, and i seen this on another forum

I think it looks way better than the traditional bumper/fender quick release, so i picked these up to give it a try


I also got around to painting the valve cover wrinkle black


And lastly i picked up these foam boards and some glue so i can get started on my rear seat delete tomorrow.

[dharker]

So i tossed out the backseats


After that i got around to replacing the radiator and axle. I also cleaned up some parts in the engine bay while i had them out






Ive decided to redo my headlights. So i picked up a couple of projectors for a quad retrofit,






Today my evo x duckbill spoiler came that i plan on moulding onto the trunk






and here are a few pics from when i was in Helen for sowo.

awesome progress. I PM'd you a question about your suspension. I dig all the unique parts bin modifications going on here. that wing should look great.

Any updates? Read the whole build and I love the direction you've taken. Is a manual swap in the future?

This thing has been keeping me busy lately trying to keep it running! Ran over sum garbage in the road which knocked a hole in my oil filter and popped my rear tire. Luckily no damage to the oil pan which i feared. After that one of the rear cam seals called it quits leaking almost all the oil out. Caught it in time and got it fixed. The following week the hose for my transmission cooler blew off leaking all the fluid. So now im waiting on new parts from the dealership to get it fixed up.
On a good note ive finally ordered new wheels they should be here in a few days or so, and i installed my bumper quick release and high beam projectors. Im also going to start pulling and filling dents, fixing my messed up rear fenders and it should be getting a full respray in september.
