'82 Volvo: An Exercise in Stance

[Switch3d']

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

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!

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:

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...

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

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

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!!

[SheaMoose]

Badass.

But I would suggest some sway bars.

[corolllin]

any plans for a powerplant???

cant wait too see those wheels on there..

and there is nothing wrong or tacky about bolt on flares!! try em before you bag on em!

Thanks, people seem pretty split on what they like but I personally like the single rounds better. I was planning on doing a v8 swap but I live in CA.

My dad was against both registering it out of state and/or bribing the smog guy so idk.. I might just do a rebuild and mild mods but the B21 isn't exactly a performance motor. People see a cap at about 300hp which is where a 350 v8 would just about start.

I agree, I just think they only look good on certain cars like 240z, MK1/2 golf, ae86, cars with a more classic feel. Its just personal preference I guess

If you have the money I would go with a 2.3 or even a whiteblock but v8's are fun.
