1966 Volvo 122

Me neither at first but I understand Dutch so that makes it easier :P

But someone is building a Amazon with a smallblock v8. And is going to make it look like the one is the stance work pictures. Which is your car!
First I thought he was selling yours or faking, but he is just building one inspired by yours, haha!

Kinda sketchy with only a engine picture. People already bidded 3500 euros on it...
Sad people try to fake this shit

I am not big fan of Volvo, but this is unique. Dont change anything just engine or sound or just drive it and repair if necessary . I love it this black pearl in the sea of cars.

The list is pretty short as far as what I can still do to it, but I do have new plans for my air setup in the trunk. Going to step up to 3/8" and use a different valve block and controller. Im going to try my hand at some hard lines. I'll be updating this thread when I get into it soon. The engine bay can always you some cleaning/dressing up as well.

i'm all about the details...they're what makes a car extra special. i'd like to do hard lines in the future as well

[Keith602]

i can't imagine what else you could do to modify it.
and you can never go too low...lol

I just went and checked, and it doesn't seem that Wheels Next is still going, and that was the website it was on.. Damn, that sucks, because it was a pretty cool feature..

that does suck. i was looking forward to trying out that feature.

I think the wheels are going on the back burner for now. Im going to focus on the air suspension again. I still need to finish the trunk setup, but before that, I think I am going to switch to 3/8" from 1/4". Most likely going to get new valves, tank, lines, controller, etc. Also, I need to cut some more from here and there to go a touch lower.

it's hard to perfect on perfection. your car looks so damn great as it is, i can't imagine what else you could do to modify it.
and you can never go too low...lol

There are also some wheel company websites that will actually let you upload a picture of you car, and then test wheels and tires to your uploaded image, while adjusting the size to fit image.. I have played with them a bit, because I am not a photoshop guy.. LOL

So glad you are keeping the wheels, they suit it, they make me want to try some bigger steels on mine!

I think the wheels you have now are perfect though. Lets all just keep our wheels hahah

Glad to hear the wheels are staying, and if you want some reference to aftermarket wheels opinions being in the forefront, just check out the last several post on my thread.. LOL I heard some stuff about my wheel choice during the build, and it seem to die out after paint when people saw why the wheel choice, and not it has flared up again..LOL

well you've done an excellent job with the car so far and changing wheels is the easiest way to refresh your love for your car. it's also the easiest thing to mess up but also the easiest thing to fix.

however, to take a lot of guess work out of your decision, you only need minor photoshop skills to superimpose different wheels onto your car. there are plenty of tutorials on youtube if you don't know how to do it already.

i've done this to several cars for friends and it really helps in the decision making process.
