'82 Volvo: An Exercise in Stance

I would cry if someone stole stuff like that..
When you did that headlight swap to the first type. Did it fit with the fenders/indicators?
I always thought that those blinkers were different and it wouldnt fit

Long story short, if your car is pre-1986 everything will interchange: signals, headlight buckets, grills, hoods, etc. If your car is post-1986 only the TV screen style headlights/signals/hoods work aka it involves cutting/welding if you want to swap to the earlier style.

Anywho, here are some pictures we took of Olga recently since the skirts and spoiler are now on:

Thanks for your asnwer! Luckly mine is from 81, so I will hunt for a 1st gen grill and lights now
Your car is looking brutal btw. Love the wing

Got some 225/50r16 tires. Trying to upsize overall diameter. The new tires are 2" inches bigger OD which means 1" higher ride height (trying to raise it a bit for commute) and 1" less fender clearance.





The fronts should be much easier to fit, and I have threaded spring perches so I can raise it up a bit to help clear.

next on the list is ZG flares or something similar

Sucks about the seats and harnesses! At least your car still looks super rad. Any new son what happened to those CCW's or did I miss a post?

Looks good.. I like that you got some side skirts on this 242dl. I wouldn't mind getting some for my 242dl project I'm working on right now.
