1983 Volvo 245 Turbo - B230FT Powered

[Estoque]

Hello fellow Volvo Turbo-enthusiasts,

I'm Rutger, 22 years old, dutch and since august 2013 a proud owner of a 1983 Volvo 245 Turbo.

i'm new to this forum(as a poster), but everytime i need to know something, the googles sends me to a topic on this forum. so i thought, mayby it's time to tell something about myself and be able to ask questions.


Now something about my Volvo:

Exterior
Polaris Wheels
Fog-lights front

Interior
850R Seats
TechEdge Wideband Lambda Sensor


Mods:
B230FT
15g Turbo
IPD Camshaft
3" Ferrita Exhaust
Lesjofors lowering springs
Wilwood Bigbrake-kit - Front

Strut-Brace Front(Homemade)
GT-Brace Front (Not fitted yet)
Lower braces Front (Not fitted yet)

PU-Bushings - Swaybar


When i got the car:

The car wasn't passing the MOT, so i needed to do some welding (with the help of my dad). Ran into this nice 850R:

Then got it trough MOT and serviced it completely:

Plastidipped the Polaris Wheels white:

New Hub-caps:

New look:

Future Plans:
- Remove the LPG / Autogas-system

- Install a BOV (Anyone did this before and is willing to share his/her wisdom with me)

- Find out what color is on the car. I need to get some parts painted, but i can't find the colornumber, because it is'nt an original 240-color. Some people say it is an color of an 940. Anyone who can help me out?




This is actualy my second 240. The first one we bought for 550,- euro's and used it for our holiday and some work around the house:

Otherwise, looks good. Surprised by how much I sort of like the wheels in white.

@TheRacer02,
That picture now looks like i put the word "Wilwood" on my stock brakes ..

Sorry for the big pictures. I Copied them of another forum, wich has auto-resize.


I Painted the wheel white because of the winter and i don't want to ruin the silver paint. I actually like white better than the silver paint..
