1968 Volvo 122s Wagon

Morning,

The slip yoke came in the other night. Went ahead and installed it. Put it all the way in and then pulled it out about 3/4" to measure how long of a driveshaft I will need. Plan to still stick with a 2 piece setup. Had to cut more of the tunnel out.








Thanks,

Badass!!

Got a little bit more done this weekend. Pushed the car out of the garage so she could see sun and cleaned her.

Good evening,

Well I started the fun process of removing the dash tonight to trouble shoot the few wiring problems I have come across. Wish me luck. Lol.



Thanks,

Thanks for the support everyone. Next thing I'll be looking for will be seats. I'm trying to locate some E36 seats at this time.

Good Evening Everyone!

After spending all day Saturday and some of Sunday, I figured out the electrical issue. I will need to run a separate switch for the lamp lights for the cluster (voltage drops down with all the new gauges piggy backing off it). Blower motor sounds like it needs a little lube... All in all, very happy.

Very, VERY cool, these volvo wagons are pretty neat, I like the coupe as well. Never been a fan of yellow but when its not annoying bright =, toned down like this its not too bad. good work man

Thank you. I'm not a fan of the yellow either. Haha. However, the price was right and the car had very little rust.

Thanks,

Evening Everyone,

Here is a few update from the weekend and tonight...

I wanted to use the original light switch to control the lamp lights for the new gauges... When I went off this terminal, the voltage would drop to around 5v and only one gauge would work. I decided to wire in a relay and now the gauges are nice and bright (will post a night shot once the wiring is complete/ cleaned up).


I also had to modify the tunnel... Again... I knew the tunnel would have to be modified for the T5 swap... Didn't realize how much was invloved till did it.




I installed bulkhead fittings for the oil lines... Not really what I wanted to do, but it should work. I'm a slut for a nicw AN fitting. Haha.


The break lines also came in with the outlet adapters. Still waiting on the inlet ones. I went with 16" lines (-3). I may have to go shorter with a different set of rims, but they don't seem to hit with the current set. Pictures taken at full locking position.
