hope you guys enjoy the pics ...lemme know what ya think...i have the foglight covers on in the pics, but ive never seen them before on any other volvo...they must be original, they were in the trunk...:)

[Gene_GaTech]

looks great. I would put those covers back in the trunk and take them out only for pictures as the lenses are cheaper and WAY more available than the covers. Looks great. +IC!

[CaptainWhoosh]

Love the car, dont love the wing, I want your foglights and covers!!!


240 turbos ftw

[wisturbo]

sweet score! That thinkg looks great aside from the dust! Ditch the wing please.
Whats first? Sways, shocks, rubber???

Sweet car! Lucky find on it being the first owner!

In the first pic there is that an early 245, or a 145?
and in the second pic what is hiding in the shrubs?

Sweet car, cool fog light covers, ugly wing. It doesnt fit with the lines of the car. But 135,000 miles is awesome!

[don hodgdon]

Nice car, it looks like a good solid base to start with.

I have to agree with most of the others who posted above...ditch the wing.

Pull the fog light covers and put them away someplace safe. As Gene says above, they are worth more than new glass. I only used them on road trips to keep from chipping the fogs.

Good luck with it...post lots of pics of your progress.

[Acid8000]

Crazy, Cruise control, Fog light n' Covers, Equalizer, that thing is pretty loaded.

[oldschoolvolvo]

+1 on what everyone's said....great potential

[m4ld0.^]

black + 2 doors + turbo = you can't go wrong

in the top pic i believe that one on the right is a 245 and on the left side is a 2 door 240 dl on the second pic in the shrubs idk what that is , i know its an old volvo tho cause thats all this guy has

[82Turbo240]

Thanks for all the complimants on the car i couldnt believe the deal i got on it either...idk if i like the wing or not but im thinkin about a Group A replica spoiler...idk what rims ...eikers are too expensive..i could get voxx's tho i think they look pretty good, anyone know of any cheap rims or other rims that will fit it?

[82Turbo240]

i was also thinkin about a 1987 trans am wing like doug had on his 242 i could prolly get one pretty cheap.

[McLovin]

Trans am wing is better, but the group a replica is best. The wing needs to have as little curve as possible.

That thing is sweett.

No offense to the Voxx fans out there, but see them on a car before you invest in them. The finish looks really cheap on every set I've seen.

Personally, I'd keep the Virgos on it until all the other issues with the car are sorted. Wheels and tires make a nice finishing touch to a car project.

[CFL940]

Damn, the interior is immaculate. Looks great. Ditch the spoiler, repaint, and FI swap.

[aibast]

needs more intercooler

[82Turbo240]

yea i wanna get it painted first then prolly intercooler then rims, performance....

My old '82 242 Turbo, wearing the GT rear spoiler that I had for it... Made by Zender. Not very many out there. Volvo p/n 1104500... Found the spoiler (well, buddy did) on a 1982 264GLE in Canada. Was painted gold. Used some black trim paint to get rid of the gold.

Picked up my 242 with 246K on it from the original owner. Did an engine swap at 275K, then proceeded to drive it until 332,000 mi. Was rearended twice, after the photo was taken. Retired it in September 2006. Original engine currently has 332,000 miles and resides, along with the original M46 in my '83 245.

+1

If you cant get eikers keep the virgos.

[safracr]

black + 2 doors + turbo = you can't go wrong

I'll throw a +1 on there :)

[norcal505]
