Well, it's been a very busy month. I've sold a bunch of stuff as well as my trailer to fund this project and fast track it somewhat. My wife absolutely hates driving my truck. Too big, too rough, ect... Here's how it was when I started. Anyway, I've completely rebuilt the suspension...

For those that didn't know, I had to let my V70R go because I couldn't afford to keep it anymore. I may have beat cancer, but beating the financial ruin is proving to be a little tougher. Go figure... Anyway, this left me with the problem of getting a car for the MRS. So after a couple weeks of...

Because some folks still don't have an understanding of how turbochargers work. Let's have a civil open discussion on the basic principles and go from there. Shamelessly plagerized from Brickboard. Which by the way is a great place to go and learn about the basic systems related to our Volvos.

1988 244 DL 109k B230f, naturally... M47, A/C, cruise, small tach and oil pressure gauge. This is my son's first car. He got it from his friends dad for $0. It runs excellent but needs a few small items, like a brake job and a motor mount, all of which has been already purchased along with a...

Finally got my new wheels in and mounted up. I got a sweet deal from my local tire guy ** shameless plug** Tire Depot in Bristol, CT. $20 a wheel cheaper than the Tire Rack. What you all think?

Well I scored an 83' 244DL yesterday. This is now the official project car and the 245 will be parted and sent away. The 244 has some surface rust but the rockers and floors are very sound. I'll be using a couple of the doors and a fender from the 245. The best part,.... The car was FREE...

I'm shopping for some new summer wheels. Blizzaks take all the fun out of driving the car in warm weather, and they're staying on the Pegs that came with the car. I want to stick with 17" a: Because I already have a set of new Pirellis. b: A little less potential for curb rash. I'm at a...

Anybody know if Titans 17 x 7 from a 95 T5R wil fit over the calipers on an 04 R? I need some winter wheels, and found a cheap set if they work.

I went shopping for a V50 T5 awd saturday. When I got there, they had an 04 V70 R in black with atacama natural leather on the lot. Turns out the R was a couple grand less that the V50. I brought it home tonight.:-D The car is freakin awesome, I'm speechless. The car is the new D/D for the...
