1972 Volvo 142 on 1999 V70R Chassis AWD with interior. Water to air intercooled. Thought I'd share my modifications. Been years since last logged on.

Holy friggin **** bud. Sweet! I think I saw some pictures of this on Instagram. Glad I now know what it is exactly!
 
Picked the build up on IG a little while back, it looks fun. Glad you cut the splitter down!
Oh for sure, was just waiting on those front flares to know measurements. I think everyone thought I was keeping it huge lol.

I still think this is the craziest.

Great build though, I like the modern-ish interior
Wow, that's insane. I had not seen that before. Thanks, 03 s60 wheel, 08 c30 seats, and functional rear seats from the R.
Would stock size R wheels have fit in the 142 fenders, or is the R wheelbase much wider to begin with?
Yes they would have, the track width was super similar between the two. I figured because wheelbase was 2.4" off and that I needed flares to offset that might as well go wide. Went ahead and ordered1.5" adapters, 18x10.5 wheels with squared 285 30 18's.

Yeah Instagram is the only place I've had the build going.
 
Really cool.

Here's another insane 'Volvo' build, although at this point it's just a bit of Volvo bodywork being dragged along for a ride:
