Air suspension stuff starts at post #99
So at some point this summer my beloved 87 745 decided that she wanted to have intermittent running issues (but this article is not about her).
After leaving me stranded on the side of the road a few times (and costing me two tows) I decided it was time for "more reliable" (read: "less electrically hacked") transportation:
Enter the new 1997 V90 Wagon. I had my eye on owning one of these for some time but never figured I'd actually buy one. But on the third of October I wrote a check for somewhere around $2500 and drove her home from Ballard (the place where ALL Volvos in Seattle magically originate).
At this point she is my daily driver. Modifications will follow (as they must) but for now they will be pretty mild.
As you may have guessed, suspension (more accurately, stance) is my current priority. She definitely needs to be lower. I've looked into a few different ideas and I'm investigating switching to MK1 IRS swing arms to open up my options for the rear. The front should be easier.
She is sitting on Work 18' VS-TXs. The wheels that Weezil had and other TB'ers before him (they are TB OG wheels fo sho).
I might try the modified BMW header bit sometime down the road but ATM my exhaust is working.
I think that's about all for now. I'll continue to update this thread/post as I make progress.
