Hey guys, I've been meaning to start this awhile ago before i had a **** load of catchup to do, but here goes!
Here it is when I got it from Pat (pat244ti)

It's a 1982 Volvo 240 wagon, started life with a D24 diesel motor, horribly slow, but having the "D" on the title was the important part, living in CA.
The plan was going to be swapping in a turbo Volvo motor, so the D24 was pulled and engine pay cleaned up!

I had purchased a motor from someone in the North Bay with the intention of refreshing it and putting that with a T5 behind it in the wagon. The motor i bought ended up being way too far gone, Pat suggested we put the motor from his Rally car project in the wagon while I sorted out what I was going to do longterm.

we got as far as installing the rally car motor before the plan changed again for a variety of reasons...
In the meantime I got some 16x8" BBS wheels of craigslist for the car. Pat threw the 1031 that was originally on his rally car in the wagon, as well as Bilstein HD's, TME springs and IPD sway bars. I've also added IPD adjustable torque rods.
