Good Evening Everyone,

The new locking fuel cap came in today. I have never spent so much on a locking gas cap before... However, she sure does look pretty. Way better than my old one.


Cleaned up the wiring for the guages and took a picture with the lamp lights on. Very happy I'm done with this. Haha.


Thanks,

Hello Everyone,

Well today I picked up my new custom 2 piece driveshaft. Look forward to installing it this weekend. I feel I'm getting very close... I will try to get the plumbing done for the front brakes this weekend and figure out how I would like to do the back.

Well... Here is a picture of my shaft lol


Thanks,

Morning Everyone,

I started working on the driveshaft yesterday. Had to cut the tunnel some more. However, the driveshaft is way too long.









Started working on the plumbing work since my shaft was too big;-)


Thanks,

[HUB]

Driveshaft shortened and installed.





Thanks,

Hello everyone,

Not much to report. Continue to work on the plumbing. Almost done with the oil lines.

Evening Everyone,

The car was dropped of this weekend at a coworkers place to weld up the tunnel. As you can see, she won't be alone


What's that in the background?

Afternoon everyone,

Tried to start the Volvo this weekend. Wasn't successful, but we had fun. We're still working on her. We believe it's timing related.



Switch the car over the a electronic pump (had trouble getting fuel to the carb).


Things are temporarily setup to just get the car running and trouble shooting. Will redo and move things once the car is running.

I want to clarify that I'm by no means a professional as you can tell. This is a LEARNING experience for me. Lol.

Thanks,

Evening everyone,

Removed the front cross member to gain access to the pan. Had loosen the oil pump to pull out the dizzy drive gear. Got the timing fixed this evening. Will put it back together this weekend or next week (waiting on a new oil pan gasket).








Got my hands on a free starter. Will put that in this weekend. Nothing wrong with the old one, but it's new and painted... So why not...


Will start working on the interior tomorrow.

Thanks,

Evening everyone,

Well I worked on the car some more. Doing all these little projects that keep adding up.

Well before doing anything, need a good cigar.


Mounted the regulator and rerouted the main fuel line. Need -6AN fitting to finish.


Painted part of the tunnel. Will finish the rest this week.


Cut part of the tunnel to make a removable plate for the shifter.


Thanks,
