***1990 Volvo 245 : Awful Wagon***

[thebornotaku]

Images aren't loading at work but I've seen the car on turbobricks.

Not a huge fan of the camaro bumper but I love the recessed lights, it looks killer and it's one of the few actually original ideas out there, as I'm sure you know about TB.

The fender mirrors and flares kill it though. I think the flares would probably look better if you cut the stock flares off of the fenders and only had the bolt-ons but that means going a lot lower to get the fitment right and we both know that getting down that low on a Volvo is almost impossible. Partially because the stock fenderwells are so damn high.

2015 updates:
Sold the gold 15x10 and picked up a much nicer set of 15x10, finally got the windows tinted out, modified a oem scion xb spoiler for my rear, I'm happy with how that turned out, removed the back bumper, trim, ready for paint.


Sold


New wheels

shortened, trimmed mounting points, cf wrapped cover for the top.

Way too much work getting the bumper off.


Removed all trim/badges , more surface rust cleaned up. Ready for paint. Afterwards I will install the 60s camaro rear bumper.

Loving it!!

You followed me on IG the other day, now I find your build whilst browsing SW, it's a small internet haha. That wheel/flare combo took this to the next level man. It's so angry looking.

Men... Been watching threads for years but this time had to say congrats, its the best project i have seen.

Btw how did you get the lights to stay fixed to the housing?

4 dots of automotive adhesive around the lights. :+)
