Time to start up a new build!
Might say some word about me first.
I'm a 27 year old Swede with a passion for old Volvos!
I'm a sheetmetal worker and I love fabrication and problem solveing
My previous build http://www.speedhunters.com/2013/06/a-labour-ovlov-the-turbo-bmw-powered-volvo/
That car has been used in traffic, never on a track.
A few friends of mine are drifting, and I have been joining them for a few years and had passenger rides and so on. I just love the whole drifting community.
That's why I felt like I wanted to try it out. And since I love the building part, I wanted to start over from scratch!
So my quest for a descent object started!
I was looking for an old 245, why? Because I love wagons, and The old ones have more charm in my opinion.
After a few weeks I found one, 300 km away. So I gathered some friends and we did a Sunday roadtrip.
It wasn't really in the shape the seller promised, one of the bad things was the headgasket. But after some adjustment on the price I bought it.
Drove it all the way home, and used it as my daily for a couple of months. Still with bad headgasket, so I had to refill water twice a week.
But two weeks ago I finally got my car from work, so the Volvo could take place in the garage!
My plans in general.
Bmw m50b25 bottom, 2,8L crankshaft, H-profile rods. Precision 6266 turbocharger and so on.
Full rollcage.
Stripped interior.
Plastic windows.
Coilovers.
Front suspention, wheelhubs, trailing arms, steering column will be replaced/modified to be able to get a nice steering angle.
Kaplhenke panhardbar
Kaplhenke torquerods
Kaplhenke spherical bushings
Kaplhenke adjustable strutmounts
Bigger brakes.
Glassfibre trunk, hood, front.
And The best if all, 164 frontend!
My Volvos gathered!
Swedish iron!
Just moved in to a new garage. 265 square meters.
We'll be 7 friends in here. Everybody should be here by the 1 december.
Hood and fenders!
The frontend on 240 and 160 isn't really the same, so I have to relocate the wheelarch a bit. But I don't think that will be a problem.
