Guess what... I'm not dead!
So this is status: Went to the states, wich made me broke.... but got some cool stuff for my build.
This place was awesome! as you can see ma girl was'nt that excited... hehehe
Ermegherd!? PERTS....
Got an -012 AMM from an early 960.
Got these radiator/intercooler bracets.
Bougth an inlet manifold for the turbo. Gonne need som fabwork but its worth it. I'm not gonna spend that much on the engine and spoil the flow with an original F-manifold..
Got some gauges. boostpressure, pilpressure and voltmeter.
Some plastic for the interior. (sorry terrible picture quality)
Some trim.
SUMMIT RACING!! We don't have this in scandinavia so this is huge for a quirky norwegian volvo-geek.
I've seen lot of recommendations for these injectors. The spray pattern is made for a 2 valve engine + they are bosch compatible.
Also bought a bosch 044 inline fuelpump for 130 dollars, wich is half the price compared to back home...
I figured I needed to get out of the heat and do some work on the engineblock.
Startet with this:
I think it's a B230?
I started with different sizes of steelbrusches to loosen the chipped paint.
then I aplied some paint-remover.
After three rounds and 36 hours it looked like this.
Still some paint left! the steelbrusches did the rest.
HighTemp Primer..
TADAAA!!!
And three layers of Eastwood Paint. They call the color "Volvo Red" here in Norway!
Wheeled it out to bake in the sun! IT'S FREAKIN' 94 DEGREES F, IN NORWAY THESE DAYS!! I'M DYING
In other news this will be the next purschase to the build:
