Inspiration -- 240 Style (DONT POST YOUR OWN)

Cameron · 06-10-2009, 11:52 AM

While I wait for more time, money and parts for my project I like to look through the Volvo gallery I've amassed over the last few years to keep me motivated and inspired to continue forward with trying to make a turd go fast (tuning a Volvo that is). Here's a select few that continually make me want to work on my car and make it better. The "competition" inside my head I guess

Plus it's a good excuse to post pics of drool-worthy Volvo stuff

This one not really, but it cracks me up

These ones aren't 240s but whatever:

So let's see the cars that have inspired you. Maybe a car that made you want to get into Volvos in the first place, etc.

Lest we never forget THIS one....

One of the early 'fast' Volvo's. Still faster than my wagon....for now...but that will change.

In case Doug reads this....you stopped kicking yourself yet?

Not sure if it was answered, but it looks like my original paint color on my 92 240gl sedan (US).
I assume its the "Graphite Metallic" Volvo paint.

*edit* Wow, i just noticed how old that question was hahaha

subw000fer · 06-10-2009, 12:29 PM

dbh86 · 06-10-2009, 12:37 PM

The common denominator is... proper cam gears...

I guess I need to get mine made.

It's this car in it's previous iteration:

Took the 6 cylinder out, painted the car and then put the 16v in. Now apparently the motor lives in this new car he built:
