Scored a rare axle...

Got lucky and found one of the rare Volvo 1090 axles, with 9" ring gear. Now all I have to do it try to cram it in. Guy claimed it would bolt right in to a 240, but I have my doubts. Nothing is ever as easy as it's supposed to be:

Bending up brake lines now.

Last time I corner-weighed my car it was 50/50 front/rear. This is going to tip the scales to the rear a little bit.

Next step is hardest step... finding room for tires.
 
Neat. How much does it weigh? 1030 complete (no brakes) was ~122lb and 1031 was ~132lb as I recall.

Was a little cumbersome to weight on a bathroom scale but near as I can determine it is about 145 with no brakes.


Any more recent pics? Engine bay shots aren't loading.
Incredible work!

All of the pictures I posted still load fine. There is a pBase link in first post to the whole album if you are having troubles.
 
I have finally settled on some new wheels. Bodywork to accommodate these should happen by this summer.

Go big or go home:
