'82 Volvo: An Exercise in Stance

[SLAMMED_C]

Those wheels are going to be crazy!! Can't wait to see them finished up and mounted.
I like this Volvo, normally I'm not a fan of volvos.. But I've seen a few older ones I like.
This one has a kind of old big muscle car kind of feel to it.. Maybe like a grand national.. Something like that, It looks cool!!

I think it looks awesome. I was looking for one of these before I found my benz project. Hell, I'm still looking for a good one for cheap lol

Reminds me of my brothers old '81 242... Too bad it turned out to be a previously wrecked rust bucket.

Thanks guys, Its nice to see people on this forum with such open minds!

Most of the guys on turbobricks dont get "stance" and think anything beyond lowering springs is unnecessary

They're old guys mostly. They don't like change. However they're really helpful with the technical parts so try not to anger them too much

Miss my 744...

I am beyond excited to see how this turns out. Looking great so far. I would damn near kill to have a 242t

Haha thanks, and your 850 is looking killer too!

What cage is that? In need of a little one.

If you mean the brand, it was custom made for the car. If you mean what style it is a hoop (or roll bar) with two supports going back that bolt to the rear wheel wells.

Here are a few pictures to show what I mean:

Drifting Pics

Not an update, but these are pictures from my friends Flickr of some parking lot drifting.

He's got some cool photos here's the link if you wanna take a look: http://www.flickr.com/photos/7434059...th/8379735586/

They're not the greatest, but we were still doing warm up runs when a cop showed up, so this is the best I got..







At this point I'm just waiting to get back home to start on the fenders.. More updates to come!

[aprophet13]

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys! I myself am curious as to how the wheels will turn out. For the fenders I was thinking somethings along the lines of these 2 cars:






It is obviously flared but still flows well with the body lines, and doesn't look awkwardly bolted on
