Project Family Cruiser -- 1974 Volvo 142

spent a load of time polishing a bracket for the tank. The brackets are very crude from suspension specialties... One down, one more to go.

gnarly scoring. Too much drifting Greg.

242 has me side tracked for a while. I broke the diff a couple months back and finally had the time to tackle it.


Carrier bearing fell off when I pulled the diff out. Diff casing floated into the pinion. As you can see in the pics, some signficant impacts were made and eventually a tooth in the diff broke.

Keith,

I sent you a PM about it days ago.

Now that you say that I dont think ive seen a bagged 140 series before. That is going to look amazing! Im actually at the beginning stages of a bag setup for mine at the moment too. I havent been underneath a 142. I feel like they have to be pretty close to the 120's suspension wise. Different dimensions of course but similar setups right? Ive done some mocking up, rears are no problem. What are you doing for the front?

Looking forward to seeing the shots of the car they took too
