[DoubleV]

Looks really cool. Has it been shortened at all?

[volvo940tuner]

the door kinda looks weird if you look at it closely IMO, but other than that thats a really cool and unique projects.
the swedes outdo us yet again. :lol:

[norcal505]

reminds me of the 942 and the 742....
hmmm....

[slammed145]

wow, is that really even a 242?

[Krunk Fu]

[volvo940tuner]

woah! i dont really care for the m3 side mirrors or spoiler, but you have to respect the amount of work into it.

[242teeI]

I thought it was a 780 with some 850 body panels?:???:

am i the only one seeing camber in teh front?

[v-speed]

Thats not the same car.
The safron one is a early 850.
The yellow one is either a 740 or a 780 heavaly modded.
They are kool but different thats for sure

[volvo940tuner]

ehh, i think he knew he was posting a different car, anyways. that yellow one has the 960/s90 front whereas the saffron one has the whole 850 thing going on.

[Freq]

am i the only one seeing camber in teh front?

Naw, I saw it, too.

[Pennybridge Pioneer]

the front bumper on that yellow one would look batchin' on the poi's 965...

[Karl Buchka]

The saffron one is an 850 that's been converted to two doors. The yellow one is a 740 that's been converted to two doors.

The 740 was featured in Bilsport and is a beautiful build. The guy's brother did that ****ed up black and orange 242.

Im really happy somebody had the time, energy and money to build these 2 cars. 850 + S70 front end, 850 with rear doors bondoed shut. Living in a fantasy world totally rocks!

[volvo940tuner]

haha yeah it does, we usually don't see much work like that on any make of car here in the states.

[rclark]

omg thats hideous. all of them

[Rectilinear]

I was just thinking yesterday how sad it was that they never made a 2 door 700, 800, 900 series.... Glad someone knocked it out.... I think it looks great! I wonder how much he paid to have that quarterglass made?

[stylngle2003]

nice sentinels on the saff

[Crazychopstick]

am i the only one seeing camber in teh front?

Tight.

But needs moar bumpercooler.

The doors arent bondoed shut. Im pretty sure the whole thing is shorter.

[marchul]

:blah: Are you serious...

[matt b]

The doors arent bondoed shut. Im pretty sure the whole thing is shorter.

That's what it looks like. VWVortex had a 2 door MKIV that looked great, but they had used Golf doors on it. The 850 had the short bus treatment applied to it...

[Lord_Athlon]

it looks same length, front door stretched.

[Captain Bondo]

The 852 does not work for me at all. The yellow 700/900 2 door thing is just soaked in "win", however. Seriously awesome. And that is something coming from myself, the original anti-grandpa. :rofl:

[marchul]

it looks same length, front door stretched.

Really? Come on, the front door isnt stretched... The whole thing is shortened, its stubby. And anyways, take a look at the pic of the 2 door next to the 4 door... That should clear any confusion up...

[CFL940]

It would be cool if it didnt have all the tacky styling to it.

That yellow 740 is kinda gangster.

[norcal505]

yeah, i knew for sure its not the car, just pushin the idea of the whole "two door conversion" thing.

Yeah, its definaetly different than a 780, bodylines are completely different to me.
Oh yeah, also found a S60 Two door, anyone wanta see that one too??
