this doesnt make sense i maxed out a set of d2 coilovers on my 84 318 and didnt get as low as you, like i took the rear sleeves out and everything but i still have two fingers of wheel gap

Huh. Well I'm pretty low. I currently have the rear adjuster on it's lowest setting. The fronts are adjusted up to about the max.

Test fit one of the wheels today. Ignore the terrible fender.







Second set of wheel adaptors are in. I need to get one bolt from tacoma screw, and finish up putting the wheels together. I am still searching for some gold paint to get the centers to match, and the emblems are still on the way.


Side note, the room mate got an e21. We headed over to bend and picked it up. He is really stoked on it. The e21 is a little small for my 6'5" frame. We had a little bit of a fuel leak issue on the way home. We decided to ignore it.

Style 5's (RC090) centers are done. Powder coated RAL Perlgold. I need to get the bolts done, and the centers installed.

Cut out a new boot, sewed it up. It's ok. Shitty photos time.


A little project I'm working on to go with the new boot. Time fore some teak oil, lacquer and shift diagram coin.

Very Nice!!!

Thanks mate!

If you need any parts let me know. Parting some e30s. Just made a thread

I actually need a few things, but mostly the whole (both halves) center console for a two door.

Prancing moose on the skid plate is top notch. Can't wait to see more!

Just trying to represent the volvo community.
