You’ve been waiting a long time for this......get ready.......are you ready?

Tires are 205/60/16 and the car is bagged.

I know this thread is really old but I’ve been trying for years on getting the tire size for those crown Vic wheels you have here. I’ve seen your car on YouTube, google and asked on many forums about this car and it’s wheels but no answer. Can you please tell me the tire size for those mesh rims? Please send me an email... Filmart08@gmail.com Thank you. One more thing...the stance...did you cut the springs or bought lowering springs from IPD and if so what is the size drop? Thanks.

This is awesome. I feel like volvo amazon's are one of the coolest shaped cars ever! You're def doing it justice w/ all the work you've put in! I agree - the recaro looks funky in there.

Damn, keep it coming!! This is so clean

Thanks guys!

[Sleeper122]

Haha thanks a lot man. Be warned, they are cunts to work on.

I hear ya. All these old cars are a pain in the ass to work on haha. Thats why you just gotta say fuck it, bag it and throw a motor you know in there. I'm no purist hahaha

Appreciate it. I LOVE your Benz. I'm looking to add a sedan to the collection soon and the old Benz's just keep popping up everywhere. It's a sign from the universe.

Damn this thing is rad. Love the chev too. I need a volvo in my life soon

Thanks!

This thing is so cool!

Appreciate it!

This is beyond awesome

Thanks!

Just insane on so many levels. How much power is it making?

Thanks, the turbo can handle 550 and head can probably take 450 safely. I'm hoping to get around 400 to the wheels. In reality, the solid rear axle is going to be my main concern going forward. I'm looking to fab in a S13/S14 rear subframe at some point in the future. Maybe my winter project this year haha.

Wow I love this. The Crown Vic (?) wheels on it looked really cool too.

Yeah I love the mesh wheel look as well. When I win the lotto I'll probably rebuild a set of BBS RS's

Well, this is sick as fuck. Good job so far man.

those steels came out great

Thanks! Took like 10 hours to get all the primer off and clean them up nice. Now they are just starting to patina a bit which I'm cool with. Think I'm going to let them rot for a while and see if I like it.

I've seen people cut the tops off of racing seats in older style cars so they look like the seats without headrests. if you don't care about seat resale that could be an option.

sweet car btw!

Hmm interesting, never thought about that. I think what I'd like to do is find a set of 70's/80's Recaro LS or LX fishnets. Just reupholster them to match the tan leather. I JUST missed scooping a pair on eBay a few weeks ago! They ended up going for like $250 more than I budgeted for. If anyone has a pair lying around the house let me know!

Did pick up a Recaro Profi SPG and threw it in, only to decide that I didn’t really love how it looked. So as of today it’s back to the stock driver seat. (Recaro is for sale if anyone is interested haha)
