Thanks for sharing, but you only paid $1k for the car????
That's incredible for the beautiful shape it's in. Great find and great build.

All I can say is Craigslist.. LOL Searchtempest.com really is a great tool also, because it makes Craigslist much easier to use..

Here is the Front and Rear view together, along with the Volvo X badge..

Who makes those artistic concept renders.. they look very good!..

About the mudflaps.. Just lower the car a bit more and drag them!

I use a guy name Ben Hermance, and here is a link to his website.. He does some awsome work, and is very helpful with planning stages.. There is nothing like actually seeing a rendition, and having something to work towards, because you can see what works and what doesnt..

It is sure looking like the front OEM Volvo mud flaps are going to be run, because I actually like the appearance of them, and it is a bit of Volvo Heritage. I also think this might be the only Pro-Touring style build, that is actually running Mud Flaps.. LOL

I will think about doing something with rear flap, but I may just leave that one alone..

can't wait for paint man

Here is a Teaser then..


Here are a couple of renditions of Volvo X, and you can see that it has the splitter options, along with a rendition with the splitter removed..











It is hard to represent in the Renditions, but the bumpers, door handles, and all the trim is being doing in a Brushed/Satin Chrome finish.. In the rendition, it might appear that the bumpers are painted, but they are actually being done in the brushed finish that I tried to picture below. I tried to put a fresh chromed piece next to my sample piece, that way the difference might show better.

This thing is really coming together. those mockup coilovers are pretty sweet, and would save a huge amount of time / hassle for a setup.

On a side note, where is the changling build and are you making templates of the parts so I can buy some from you in the future

Here is a link to the Project Changling P1800 build, and yes we will have alot of products available.. Most all of what you see in the build, is also available for the P1800 cars..
