I guess that is something you don't see everyday.
Although I could only see the pictures in a small frame, the daily build sheet looks like they just made one. Is a 165 made by putting the rear panels on a 164 or the front wings and engine etc on a 145? I assume the chassis rails would be wider in the 160s, hence the problem with swapping the powersteering box over. A very interesting car, please keep the pictures coming. Regards Mike. |

I think the 140 and 160 chassis rails are the same width. But there are longer in a 164; the wheelbase is 100mm more, all of which is ahead of the bulkhead. I believe it's that which makes the angles wrong for a 164 steering box used in a 140. Qulte few 165 conversions have been built over the years, but this seems to the only one Volvo ever did. John |

volvo 165 get down and dirty
Ok the old girl is down to a body shell totally gutted. The rust issue is not so good , the back windows were basically held in with filler a bit in the sills but front sections are not so bad but she goes off to the sand blaster next week so more issues might arise. Im looking for a good donar car to get some rear quarters off but even they are getting scarce i dont about over there, are 145 early models much around. Next week some more photos will be posted.Regards John
