been repairing the pass front wing over last week or so,had some rot around the wing mirror holes,so have cut the square out,treated it and fabricated a new piece in,and the same on the bottom rear of wing,cut out and re made...also done the same on the drivers windscreen scuttle,someone had painted the car in 2005 and done a poor repair which had become like a tea bag and wet feet are not to clever...lol...
oh and fitted accuspark,plugs,coil and rotor arm...£51.00 all in...bargain... |

Love the concept
I'm am just about to begin. I have a 144 auto and its thirsty and sluggish, so was thinking of an engine swap too. I was going down the obvious route of Zetec and Type 9 box to give the old girl a bit of get up and go. Going for lowered stance too, although struggling to find alloys.
Anyway, await with interest while I get the welding torch out. Anyone reading lower edge rear wing panels are going cheap on ebay at moment from a place in Barnsley. |

Sorry- but I just can't understand why you would want to do that to an old Volvo. Why waste a lot of time and money trying to turn a rather sedate 40yr old car into a modern performance vehicle. I just think you are missing the whole point of owning a classic car. If you need a high performance car go and buy one, there are plenty of very affordable Celicas, Skylines, Imprezas about at the moment.
