[willie@stance]

I like your style man. In for updates

Ok so this thread is long overdue for an update. I recently moved into a house with a garage, so my friend Jason with the beige 244 has been using it to turbo his car, so in the meantime he let me rock his wheels, which he later generously gave me. They are 16x7 bbs ra, using adapters for final offset of -23 rear and 0 front.

A couple random pics inside the garage (sorry for all the iphone pics)





This is what Jasons stock exhaust looked like when he took it off



Pretty stoked on having a garage considering this was my last work area lol



And after some fender cutting the wheels were on!




And finally some non iphone pictures


















And a random shot from a Volvo meet in Davis



And thats it for now, next post will bring it up to date, just need to go take some pictures

This pleases me too



I like the black painted bumpers and the front plate location to show it off

Love it. The 262c door panels really top off the interior in my opinion.

That thing is sitting perfect!

I'm interested to hear the srt-4 bov on your vo, can we get a sound clip?, I'm sure it sounds wicked with the mods you have done.

[rice4life]

Wow, this is incredible! You should get some more pics with that beige one. Both of them are soooooo dope.

[Piglet]

Man, that car is clean. I am jealous

[synth ruiner]

ohhhh nice! those wheels suit the car so well! I really like this build.

[white out]

this looks so good

[Z33_Taxi]

What paint did you use to spray your headlight surrounds and bumper plastics?

Rustoleum Gloss?

[corey]

Thank you guys for the support, really means a lot! The bumpers are from 86+ so they are original black, as are the headlight surrounds (not from a gt). I just use back to black to keep them dark and glossy. I'll try to get a sounds clip up soon as well

This makes me regret not learning about cars sooner and selling my 1972 142s because I didn't know what the hell was going on. *sigh*, a week later I saw the car back up on craigslist going for double what I parted with it for and running great.

Great 242, not sure if I like the black bbs' on the factory black body but always in for more updates.

snapped a quick bay pic yesterday while I was doing some cleaning



One day I would really like to convert to lh 2.2 and clean things up more
