volvo s70

so i seen a pretty good deal on projectors ive always wanted and now i have them! Q45 gatling projectors they are pretty unique and massize. the only problem is that from what ive heard the light output is a little worst than my current projectors so im not sure if ill swap them just yet.



IM going to try building a set of full led corner lights with a chaser/sequential/ scrolling blinker. so i ordered up some parts for start practicing for that. just some cheap leds, resistors, and new soldering iron, some chips and some cheap circuit boards.



and lastly my wheels have finally arrived!



the specs are pretty much the exact same as the current set i have. only problem is the lug hole is much smaller. this wont be a problem for the rear because i have a spacer that converts from the stud bolts to lugnuts. For the front im still using the oem lug bolts...so does anyone know of a way besides the ipd kit to convert the front to studs?? any help would be appreciated if im not mistaken our thread pitch is 12x1.75 correct?

I remember you! It was when i first got to the strip. And i dont plan on stopping anytime soon.

I don't blame you! You think you'll make it down to Savannah this May for the new event?

Looks like itll be another week or so until my wheels are here. In the meantime ive decided to try and build a set of led turn signals if they come out good ill make a set for the tail lights also.

One of the guys I work with drives one of these as his daily. I always wondered how you would stance this chassis with its flat top rear wheel arches. How did you go about rolling the rear fenders if you don't mind me asking?

I didnt roll them. I just shaved off the inside lip with an angle grinder and sprayed some undercoat on it so it wont rust.

Wow nice looking Volvo! I realy like the wheels on it I think they fit great. And I can't get over the fact that you polished them like what 3 times? I mean it's a lot of work you are a motivated guy lolll!! Seriously though it's great! I like the wood stuff and cut springs. I've read the whole thread just now. I'm glad you are getting it resprayed! We can see the mismatch bumper and hood in some picture.

And since this is stancework, is getting lower in your future plan?

Lol thanks man. Ive polished them about 3 or 4 times. I run them daily so i gotta keep repolishing them to keep them looking good. but ive got new wheels on the way so its time to change it up. Its about time i got it painted though it looks like crap up close. And i do plan on going slower when i get the new wheels just need a few more parts to refresh the suspension

I love the progress, I just remembered that I saw you at Sowo! I was the guy who almost run in front of you to say "I follow you on stanceworks!". Keep up the good work!

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

Thanks, ive finally got to the point where i can make progress on a regular basis, and yep i have a manual swap and some other go fast things planned. It wont be a fast as the turbo version but it will be a hell of alot more fun to drive than now.

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.

Thanks man i been mia for a while but i pmed you back

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.
