Such a Sick Car

[Oxer]

Badass dude!

[Streetkarnage]

Bored and can't sleep haha so though I would do a little update.

I havnt done to much on the car as I still need to get an engine crane but I have got both motors completly ready to come out and also purchased some parts

But on the planing side of things I have been busy.. While the car is off the road for the engine swap I have decided on doing a revamp of the exterior.. Not going to revel every thing but it will Include a wheel change.

Here is a little teaser of what is to come..

lose the visor imho, but I love this car besides that, volvo wags are so cool

[Streetkarnage]

Cheers man.. I'm sick off it as a daily but it should be fun as a weekend/track car and now i get to build another daily haha

Not really common.. i know of one 240 wagon in the states that did it before i did and then there is a maroon now silver sedan that is rocking it in the states!! I'm quite sure I'm the only one is aus

not a perfect fit it has to sit about 6"s off the firewall to clear the cross-member.. but just new custom engine mounts, gearbox mounts, tail-shaft, cooler, radiator, and then wiring.. just the same as any transplant

glad u decieded to keep it. does anyone else think its crazy they volvo 240 has the same engine as the nissan 240 (180 really but u know...)? is it like a perfect fit in there? is a common swap for volvos?

[Streetkarnage]

Cheers guys..

I went through a ruff patch with the car and decided to sell it.. then after a week and so much time wasted from buyers stuffing me around, i decided to keep it and scrap my other projec that was a volvo 240 sr20det and fit all the parts i have for that into the wagon

so thats where I'm at at the moment..

oh and also the suspension i had for my other will be going into the wagon..

meaning
coilover for the fronts
sway bars (40mm rear)
stiff rear shocks
strut brace
also still needing a few other items to finish it off

cant wait till its back on the road

Ill try keep this updated as possible, as i have through the build but check my blog just in case

haha so much love for the antenna.. it a coat hanger that i hammered into the shape of a <3

omfg man. i missed this thing.

the attenea idea is rad did you use a break line bender?

love the visor too

Got some stuff done on the wagon yesterday, but thanks to the shitty weather I didn't get as much as i would like done...

The motor is ready to come out apart from the mounts and tailshaft.

As you probably have worked out by now, the wagon is getting treated to an sr20det transplant that i had fitted into my Volvo 240 sedan.

Another thing i got around to do, was fitting my side skirts that i had on my sedan.. I'm really not sure if i like them on the wagon yet.

from blog caz were too lazy to check it haha
