At SS Automotive, we work on allot Volvos. Mostly repair but sometimes its performance work too. I found this gem on the internet for free! Itl make a great shop project car everyone can work on and enjoy + wont break the bank to get some real results with. We will go thru the interior, body, engine & drivetrain to make it nice! it currently totally lacks an exhaust manifold or turbo, the trans is fukt, the interior has its own "eco system" as pointed out by Dave, (I have bites to prove it) the thing makes your nose run and you want to sneeze just walking up to it if the doors are open. BUT I had the thing running again in under an hour and the motor runs great it just needs some, ok allot of attention.

Few of the parts for the project
Little more info, This car is somewhere beyond gross, apperantly it was purchased at auction about 3 years ago and the trans went out, the thing sat until now and somewhere in that time the turbo was robbed off of it. after reconnecting the oil cooler, and blocking the turbo oil feed line the car started right up with a jump and ran great (maf hooked to the intercooler) the outside and inside are dirty as hell but cleaned up nice. the seats cleaned up ok but the smell (mildew / mold) has remained. most of the interior is going to have to be trashed, including the dash, carpet. back seats (torn). Its a mess but i think itl be worth the effort.
Parts list for the project:
-flattened and ported manifold
-t3t4 turbo
-good used head
-ipd turbo cam
-ipd cam gear
-siemens deka 60# injectors
-fmic intercooler (stock) from a r33 skyline gtr
-megasquirt
I have a lead on some of the other parts needed. I will keep this thread updated as the project progresses.
