Engine: 850 T5/R Amazon “junkyard dog” build

[Prostreetpop]

Hi.
I’ve bought myself a Volvo Amazon as a project 1966 4 door.
It was suffering with rust quite bad when I got in to it so it has progressed slightly from initial plans.
It now has a BMW e46 under it but will still have a Volvo 2.3ltr 5 cyl motor from a 850r with. M90 gear box.
I’ve got on well the last few weeks with it and pleased with the progress
I will post some pictures when I work out how too 🤔
If anybody is interested in any of the running gear , motor , box, axel, front clip, steering, pedals I will be selling these items.
Thanks for the welcome to this page.
Mark.

I'd like to see the pics of the build. If you can put a T5 into an amazon I'm sure you can work out how to put pics up

Hi Mark,
Scroll down to "Manage Attachments" press and another window appears go to "Browse" of which there are 5 slots.
Press browse and it will return to your computer to choose your picture choices. Press open on your choice and it should go into the first slot.
Then just repeat untill 5 slots are filled then press "upload".
Then you can Preview post if you wish.

Good luck.

Andy

I remember seeing a thread somewhere about someone putting a BMW chassis under and Amazon estate body. Can't be too many like that? Could it be the same one? The thread kind of ended at the end of last year with work still in progress.

Don't remember where I saw it though, can't find the link now.

No, it was an English one... Have to dig around a bit... But that one is cool too. Heck of a lot of work!
