No pictures with this update, mainly because it would be embarrassing. I cut 100mm out of the panhard rod. If my calculations are correct this will center the axle and allow the rod to be adjusted 30mm shorter and about 15mm longer.

I welded the other tube adapter on and it turned out worse than the first one. I did not grind it down and showed a co-worker. He agreed that it was bad. He took both ends of the rod home and is going to cut out my weld and tig weld it. It is humbling but I will keep practicing and move on.

Way to go on scoring that car and those wheels! Its Antonio by the way..... Sell me one of you E30s now!

No work getting done this weekend.


Check out that stance!

Great deal on the wheels, can't beat that price !

Tiny update. I got the adjustable panhard rod installed. My friend ended up cutting out my welds and TIG welding it for me. Better safe than sorry.



A couple crappy pics taken while laying in the snow. I wanted to get the torque rods off so I could start modifying those but it was too friggin cold. Maybe this weekend.

Does it handle much better?

I still have a lot of work to do before it is drivable. I also will not have much to compare it to. I might have drove the car 3 miles before tearing it apart, and that was at stock ride height with a completely blown suspension. Next time I drive it, it will be lowered with a brand new suspension.

I got the torque arms off today. Do you think I should replace the bushings?



I cut the arms so I could get measurements to order parts.


I was back over at my friends house and we were messing with the welder again. For the life of us neither of us could make a clean pass. We started looking at the welder and gas, only to find that the cables inside the welder were on the wrong polarity! We switched them and had much more success. So hopefully when parts come in we can weld these arms up properly.

At least the Volvo is currently a good drink holder.

Nice work so far. A good compound and polish and that oxidized paint should shine right up!!

Thanks. I am not sure yet if I want to try to "shine" the paint up or leave it as is. At the moment I am leaning towards leaving it.

[rice4life]

Shine it!

I usually like patina on older unusual cars, but whenever I see an old volvo like this on the road, the paint is usually faded like this.

I decided to just take the rear bump stops off the car.


When I had the suspension at ride height, I noticed that the sway bar was hitting this brake line.


I removed the clamp and bent the line up above the axle. I did not see anything that it would be in the way of.


I got back over to my friends house and mig welded the torque rods. Still not pretty welds, but I am going to run them. You will notice that I also drilled a hole and plug welded the tube adapter. The threads on the double adjuster are 5/8-18. You will also notice the new bushings. Now my torque rods and panhard rod are adjustable with out removing them.

[Dueyferg]

I finally got the torque rods installed, and buttoned up the rear. I also had to get some new lug nuts because the sides of the factory lug nuts were cutting into the wheels. I drove it down the street before I turned it around. It felt really strange with the front end up so high.



Tomorrow I hope to have the front end apart and start ordering some parts.

Those rear wheels look great, hurry and get the fronts all done! I can't wait to see it.
