That interior is ummmmmmm... not my taste. Maybe if I was a fighter pilot drunk on rice wine :e-shrug:

Look past the wacky crap on the outside and look under the hood. Lots of goodies.

Anyone else noticed the 740 brakes in the rear, and custom c70 brakes up front. :twisted:

It's a little over the top on the styling side, but all in all, I think he's done a good job.

Well I'm gonna rant get ready. Damn you guys are so conservative that is a massively modified Volvo and while you guys may not appreciate that kind of styling you should by no means trash it as this guy has totally put himself into the car. It is awesome as far as I am concerned but too many people are worried about being "ricey" and all. Who cares if people might think your volvo looks ricey they're just jealous that your car stands out or they just have different tastes. I want to see more heavily modified volvos (inside and out)

i would mind it if he ditched the wing. but i have to give him props it looks like a lot of custom work was done on his time.

I'm not a big fan of the cluttered look. Bit on the ricey side for me. I like an understated clean look. Props to the guy though.

Holy crap that is a lot of time into that thing. Props for that anyways. Let's hope he doesn't get in a hard rear end hit without the proper calipers on there! Yikes.

interior is not to my liking, the wing is fairly usless and doesnt suit the car. tailight could be fitted better. but if those wre all taken off. the car pretty much looks like one of those tuned swede ones with massive sponsor listings on the side.. i like the vent on the drivers fender. thats neat. very cool car tho, i like it.

The interior's a little... <font color="blue">bright</font>. Plus, how many boost guages can one need? I count two, but I couldn't see what the guage on the a-pillar was... It's not a vac/boost guage, but could just be boost alone...
Meh. I give him props for loving the volvo.

I gotta say, that car is worked over. Lots of cool interior ideas that got my mind going. I don't really like the neons, but I'm diggin the "aluminum" look of the dash and console. I'd do that to my car but I really the way it looks now (black). And he fit some nice lookin rear seats into it too! Might have to look into that for my car.

Ricey, but definatly definatly cool.

Yeah, it's a bit ricey, but like you guys said, you gotta give the guy credit for puttin in the time to really customize his car.

I really dig the look of the rear bumper, it makes the ass end of a 240 look damn good IMHO

Did anyone notice he made mention to 16 inch rotors? Must be from a dumptruck. He does have talent though.

I must say, that car would really be a blast to drive! It certainly isn't all show and no go... And if you look at it this way, people will probably assume a riced out volvo 240 is a joke and a slow piece (that's what we usually think when we see a riced civic right?), and laugh- until they are owned of course, and then it's all tears:-)
