Love this car, what kinda rims are those? i was ging to get something similar to that but opted out and got wheel adapters instead haha. ive got 1990 740 wagon..

[Ollu]

Those are Volvo s60 steelies i think. Welded wider. From 6.5 to 8 in front and from 6.5 to 10 inches in rear. I love your wheels. If I wanted something new, then i would search for something similar to yours.








U can see welding here.

i got my wheels for $200! there off a GTA, riken mesh 16x8. just gonna get some 195's for them and lower it.

[Ollu]

Im looking other front wings and rear doors, that are better condition that are mine. I went to a guy in a weekend in hope to get these, but unfortunatelly no luck. I got some little crap I needed and new rear and front bumper with a different addon. Im thinking to modify that front bumper addon little bit to fit it with rear bumper.













Also Im thinking about something different with front. US front, to be exact.

Got tired of looking for new front wings and rear doors. So I decided to repair my own wings. Next weekend want to repair rear doors and passanger door, and then I can send car to my friend who will do painting and work with filler.

[Ollu]

Those tin can tops are actually a nice idea for hubcaps. Would you mind if I steal that idea?

Oh and thats a great 244 by the way

[Ollu]

Thanks!

No, I dont mind at all

[244Brick]

Do the USDM quad light! That's what mine had and i loved it!

[Ollu]

Yea If its painted and car is rolling again, I will search for old type front wings and go for US front for a while.






Repaired front wings, all rusty placed are replaced and now 1 door is done, 2 more to weld and then my friend can start with painting works.

Beautiful car man I love seeing body work in progress. Sub'd

[Ollu]

Thanks


So I went to buy a paint and other stuff the other day. Unfortunatelly I didnt had any detail with original paint with me cuz I wanted the new paint to be close as possible to original tone. At shop it looked good and almost the same. As I arrived to the garage then I realised it is much lighter tone. But I think its good. It is still light blue, I love that blue-white combo, and I cant wait to see whole car painted.

Little teaser to you guys. Upper part of the front wing is painter with new color.
