  • The White Swede - Volvo 740

    !SLOW BUILD!
    So I got my hands on this Volvo, three owner car with about 80k miles (130000km) on it.
    It's been sitting in a barn over the last three years, so it's filthy, dirty and rusty, but I like it.

    Drove it home and it was leaking gas, figured out that the sender was rusted out, got a new one in plastic and now there's no more leaking and the fuel gauge works.. sometimes...

    B230F - 116hp/183Nm
    M46 - 4speed with Overdrive

    Plans:
    Get it trough "besiktning", which is like an advanced smog check.
    17'' Steelies
    Get it low
    New tails and turns
    Fix the rust and get paint on
    Getting it clean, keeping it original style with a touch.

    Original except the stereo, which the previous owner put in.

    That's it for now I think.

    Still going slow, just some new bulbs to the interior so you can see all the gauges and such, also got rid of the heater outlet so now there's a smooth grille.
