![]() I'd say keep the virgos! 245s on virgos look too good!

![]() I agree. I think the 16's will offer more tire choices, but the old wheels are a favorite. The price was right and they even came with decent tires.

![]() Sold the wheels for $100.00. Cut a coil off the rear springs. Much easier than the front. Kind of anxious to set her on the ground and see what we have. Probably paint the rear calipers later. Rear shocks feel serviceable.

![]() LKQ front bumper (with air dam) going on. Need a R/F bumper strut. R/F rail is torn up from an old collision. Should be serviceable. ish.
Battery in passenger spare tire well. Cousin to weld up support frame. Cable routed. Battery mount under hood removed. To pick up two engine grounds. Priority to get her back on the road. Wire up battery, bleed brakes, LKQ lower air filter mount, Rt head light, PCV hose, fix tail lights. ![]() Last edited by LC4CARL; 03-23-2016 at 12:19 AM.. |

![]() Three big ground wires to the engine. One to each frame rail, one to the cowl.
![]() Picked up some used head lights. Pretty sketchy looking. Probably keep looking. Pretty excited about the air dam. Going to look cool. Maybe I should put a splitter under it. ![]() ![]() Last edited by LC4CARL; 03-23-2016 at 11:49 PM.. |

![]() I like the "hydra" 16" wheels, they look great on a lowered 240 when it's rolling.
What is "LKQ"?

![]() "Yay" or "Nay" on the rear bumper delete? I'm leaning toward "nay." Though maybe the area where the muffler was could be a diffuser. LOL.

![]() Nah. 140's and older can pull it off, these can't unless you get fancy with the sheetmetal like that one red 242.

![]() And the votes are in... LOL.
Had a good day. Went to the salvage yard and scrounged up: a virgin spare tire, PCV hose, cushion for the bottom of the air filter, air box duct for the front of the radiator support, bracket for the air flow meter (now that the Frankenstein intake is gone) and a front license plate bracket. For the first time, in I don't know how long, the beast will have a functional crankcase ventilation system and breath through a proper air filter. ![]() Also snagged a HD crimping tool for the new battery cables. ![]() Bumpers are on. Hitch is on. Yeah baby! Bleed the brakes, finish the battery cables, and I think she'll motor. I think... ![]() |

![]() Heh I'd take that thing back for credit and carry one of the Virgos.
Something something about a 20+ year old tire I don't trust.... |

![]() When selecting the ideal spare tire for a machine such as the Volvo wagon, it's important to consider it's provenance. When I saw the label on the sidewall, I knew I had the right tire.

![]() More good news. It's alive!
I finished the battery wiring. No sparks, no fires. Turn the key, and the deep-throated burble of high-performance Swedish engineering fired right up. The air filter didn't fall off and the exhaust sounds really good. Got a cool rasp now. I'm going to stick with the single front muffler and plumb a tail pipe out the back.

![]() I know that there was no malice intended, but knowing where I started, that I've put a lot of effort into this, and that I was likely a bit proud to be able to post a photo of the car sitting on the ground; the only response that comes to mind is the old quote about "beauty being in the eye of the beholder." I have to believe that you, I and the rest of the TB family of crazies, hang out here because a smile comes to our faces when we look at, work on, and drive these cars. And I think that's beautiful. Even if it is ugly.
