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 :)

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.

This one to me seems to have a completely bolted in roll cage. Is that from
Safety Devices in the UK ?? Nicely done~

Its bolted to the shell, but its been welded in the car.
Also, the 'feet' on the mounting points are grossly undersized, and basical ruin an otherwise very good 'cage.
