Super Thanks for the super great feedback. I'll see if I get time to post more pictures of the details when I get home from work. Still need some tips on wheels. =)

God damn. This type of wide body is what I love... Good job!!

[SproCCet]

Thanks.

I'll put up some pictures of the details during the project. There is not anything here that is so easy to explain. There are very many details.

All of door lists are removed, the door handles are from new volvo 960, on the mirrors are sourced from 940 as are the front and all the interior, and even the interior roof lining.

There is not a single keyhole on my car. I was recently interviewed for the largest car magazine in Norway, and during the interview they wanted to know everything that was done to the car, be single detail, now the magazine is out, and the following was reading "The building process was so wide that we may have printed a additional vouchers "Well, I will not boast of this, I do not think it's so much detail, though I be ever forgets to tell a lot of the little details. I have not taken pictures of all of the details. Automotive magazines closed his text with the following, "The car is an orgy of cleverly hidden details"

Well, I'm here with one of the more peculiar details that I have received a lot of praise for the car hits.

I removed a small strip on the D pillar at the back of the car, this left a small dent in the list around the rear window, a detail I hung me up, I had to get it out of sight, so I started to remove the black color on some windshield moldings, so afterwards I get the card down and with a strong desire to get it to see the original out, it was perfect, and the lists are made of acid-proof and, as this was just the dream. I had removed a notch on 3X7mm. =) In the picture you can see the list and chopped was in the right lower corner. =) I think it looks good. =)





Here we see the doorway, notice that dårlåsen are coated. It is painted in a gorgeous Malaguti paint, metallic and with 3 coats of clear lacquer. =) As also the screws. =)



And here we can see the width of the door, it measures 23cm wide at the middle. =)
There are also plastered and I have spent an eternity on joint so nicely I can with putty.



Here we see the inside of the front fender, here I have collected an inner plastic layer from a Volvo 940, which is well built though, it is here only to accept rubble.



The wipers are sanded and varnished again.



All-new Volvo emblem, grill was also sanded and varnished in a Fiat paint.





At the rear of the center console, then in a way to be in the back seat, I've fitted a boost gauge. The container that holds the plastic gauge is handmade. =) Why I made it? Because I felt I had to have something there that not everyone else has. =)



Here we see a detail of the rear wheel arch, I chose not to cut off the edge because I've seen people do it before, and when I think it looks even more ugly.



Window List.



Lock toward the back door.





Door hinges front.



Tailgate without keyhole.



Took the best price on Volvo Car Club Norway's major hits this year. "Hits most completed car"









There are many many more details, flip the fuel tank cap is also removed, so my fuel cap is composed of even more fuel cap. =)



Hehe, another detail, I had completely forgotten, I hope the pictures explain this well enough, but since I removed a strip, so it was a void in another list, I filled the void with body glue. This only certain someone would one day see the void. =)











The car is painted in a Laverda motorcycle color, so there are 2 layers of clear varnish and then polished and even a new layer of ceramic clear coats.



Thanking for me for now, hope people like what they see, thank you for all the great feedback.

I use Google translate, and in Norway, many words that are expressed and written alike but mean different things. for example: The Norwegian pronounce it as Skjerm, can be Tv screen but also mean fender, and since we have so many double meanings so it goes a bit confused for Google. =)

Ja har sett på de, har vurdert Image til den ene 940 som jeg har, rett og slett pga prisen. Til 740 vil jeg ha noe i samme stil som jeg har, eller noe alla BBS aktig, men jeg er ikke helt sikker, personlig syns jeg bilen kler Bûgel felgene, men jeg har fått et lite problem med litt irr på senterene. Selv med uhyre god behandling, det er den lille senterkoppen som ikke har klart å holde seg helt i ro, hadde jeg visst om dette problemet når jeg kjøpte felgene ny den gangen, hadde jeg brukt pakkningspasta på kanten av senterkoppene når eg monterte de, sånn at de lå i ro. Vel vel, skaden er skjedd, jeg er pirkete og da spør jeg ut i mengden om gode forslag. =) Bûgel felgene kommer til å bli lakkert i senter, så blir det bruks felger, så kommer de nye felgene til å bli til utstilling. =)

Hey.

Incredibly nice Volvo 740 you have. White is very nice. Discret. We like that. I run 19 "on my day and think it fits perfect, I cheated a bit on the BBS wheels. Goal is to see if I can get it even lower without starting to cut too much in the body again.

17 "is too small I think, I can go 18", but I would preferably 19 "and happy with the border.: D

What's the widest you can fit at the back with the widebody? I can fit 19x10 if I use 235/35/19 but then I have to flare the fenders a bit, I guess you can always go with mk1 IRS which adds camber = less to worry about on rubbing due to panhard rod.

I love the way the car is.

[Tadas]

This is an awesome build!I'm your biggest fan!

[SproCCet]

Thanks Everybody.

Any Tips for Nice Rims for tha car?
