Showing off my Volvo 245

[gsulliv2]

So I've been over on Turbobricks for a while, and have been lurking on here for a while. I love the diversity of awesome rides on here and just wanted to show off my current Volvo project.

So to start I had been searching a while for a solid manual 240 wagon, when I came across this bone stock 84 245 turbo. I bought it from the original owner, a very nice old gentleman who took very good care of it over its life.




So to start with I cut some coils all the way around and fitted some gemini wheels I acquired. Here are a few pics from a photoshoot I did with it.






and here it is after I added in the ecode headlights.

after:



Future plans involve some different wheels, and full Kaplhenke coilovers and some more lowering.

Welp, I'm jealous... Wagon, turbo, and gemini wheels?? 3 step recipe for Volvo success right there. Very excited for this one! I have a set of RSI coils going on over the next week, can't wait to put mine on the ground haha

So I acquired a set of these bad boys today:



Got a good price but still undecided if I want to run them on the wagon or not. If not may just sell them on (anyone interested? HAHA)

Thoughts?

I won't do it, needs a set of awesome wide 3pieces on there

Thanks for the feedback, kind of what I was thinking too. Probably just going to clean them up and sell them along and pocket a few extra bucks.

Those e-codes with the wipers look great. Personally I would take the time to polish those Gemini wheels to make them stand out against the dark paint.

Get the suspension sorted & head down to the Tail of the Dragon for a good time. (see my car below)
