Volvo 245 GT-D

Sorry my bad English

Have got a 93 mod Volvo 245 GL in Sweden
Was a little more rustic than I had hoped / promised. But the car for a reasonable price, so when I escaped and run with an empty trailer home from Gothenburg.

The car has just over 300k miles, been service car at Volvo until 2005

A couple of pictures of the car:







The aim of the car is to build a full-rigged racecar with speed license. The plan was to maybe try to run some of the GT series and some drifting .. hehe

The goal is to try to build a car that can run both in racing and drifting. So it should not be so much finnish on this car as the previous one. But have to still look good hehe. Will see how this takes off.

A Toyota Soarer.I would take complete front and rear Suspension of this over in the Volvo



Engine, I will not say anything about yet. Standing between a couple of options I do not quite able to decide yet. So we take along.

The plan is to have stripped both vehicles also mount the chassis first, also take it from there

got the dismantled bit yesterday, is still a couple of things, then get to take it next week, the car almost entirely out of parts

Throw out a couple of pictures:








And have well decided that there is an LS1 with Single Turbo + + +

The engine has been sent from the USA, is 02 LS1 engine, and looks like I bought my turbo today. Was a Garrett T51, so hope it's going to be okay.
Focus on getting dismantled last remnant of the car today also

The car is fully stripped and lifted onto the trailer. Will run it for a guy who should wash the **** before I start. But do not know when he has time for that yet only

Also, I bought me a brakekit, I would see if I had used the back. Just hope it fits.
Is 330 slices with fixed center and 8stp kalipter

Also a couple of pictures when

Almost pure body:








Brakes:

Turbo:




Display a little tit-bits with the car the other day, he would wash it did not have time. So when I do it myself, I thought

Also on my Escort I have created a body tilt



Had been all right to use this on Volvo `n and, so when I made 2 new brackets and placed on wheels so I could have pushed it out, etc.








ready to be pushed back in and then start cutting soon: D


Has not been worked so much on the car during the day, 1 week on holiday also started a new job the week here

But had taken power last weekend. Looks very good 2002mod been 50000 LS1:



Have cut some of the car:




I have order some parts now:
Race Technologies Dash2 dash logger
left hand drive Toyota Steering rack
3 plate Ace clutch with button style flywheel
Various flanges for turbo build
Bracket for alternator

Have dismantled bit Soares today, and the measured alot. it's going to be a "small" cut and weld operation of the front of the Volvo.
Dash 2 `n:


Have cut the whole front of the Toyota, then move the suspension with frame and damper towers over the Volvo








Car-O-Liner:


Mounting the car on the Car-O-Liner:




After some measure, I start cutting:









Some of the new parts arrived:

Steering rack:


Clutch:

Have cut out some of the torpedo and the floor and started to adapt the new front:





Have to try to fit a wheel and a fender:





Have measured and measured, so now is the front where it should be, and welded:









The frame it`s not finnish, I take the rest when I can use the body tilt


Cut out the inner fenders:




XYZ racing spec coilovers:





Has now been traded in some bends and pipes, so in the weeken I put together some pipes in front: D

"Collector":





Some exhaust pipes:







Made the transition from 6 holes flange to v-band:




Downpipe:














That's all for now, updates will come

Then finally a small update, has been little time in the garage. But not as much as I would! have been a little lax in the past.

Had made ​​little torpedo wall this weekend:
[/IMG]









Taking time to get it as close to the engine as possible on the sides

Begins to be whole wall:








Parts come from England, looking forward to this package because then I could try mounted pedalbox and seats and set how to make it to the floor. But the company I got the parts from, had managed to send me the wrong pedalbox: mad:

I order a hanging pedal set with pumps against me, but I get standing by the pumps from me:


Pumps, tanks, hand brake and seat mounts:




My new seats arrived:




Roll cage and a tube notcher:




"Flexplate"


Arp rod bolts:


The right pedalboxen:






Welded between Toyota uppermounts and fender mounts




Removed some of the floor and started to adapt the new, but must wait until I get steering collum before I continue:






Spindles are supplied to the conversion of more steering angle:


Engine inn again and rebuild the torpedo a little:




Still a little on the floor boards, but still waiting on the steering axle:




Tried a seat to look like that about how it's going to be:


Finally got the package from usa
Aeromotive fuelcell:


A "small" dual pass radiator:


Spal 16" fan:


El water pump:


2stk fuel railer:


So I got the brake kit to the front


begins to accumulate in parts:


330mm vs supra brake disc


356mm vs supra front disc:


Some exhaust parts in place, still need a 3.5 "muffler and flex,




Also turned the original flywheel and some types 6 Pucka sinter and weighed them, almost 25 kg:


Weighted the new "package", just over 7kg:

But di has managed to send me the wrong "base plate" on the clutch, then he would see what he could arrange
Starting to get tired of the wrong parts now

I post 2 pictures of my old Volvo 245 and a movie from rudskogen:






98whp and 482wnm @ 1.5bar 95oct
2.3l. volvo 16v cp piston, h-beam rod, custom intake and exhaust manifold +++
Tein rear coilovers and Blitz front coilovers,
Wilwood brakes, roll cage, autometer++











Here are finally some pictures. Has been a bit slow lately, and various other things that have not been done so much, and things take a long time, even if it does not look like it in pictures ... hehe

Started on rear wheel arches, was a bit hard to get it to fit the Volvo and Toyota:





Will also be a reinforcement plate, from the tower and over and up to the inner screens at the top, doing these now, so come picture gradually
front:


back:


cut out some of the floor:


fitted and welded in a plate, here comes the battery to be folded down:



Have "made​​" the steering collum, from Toyota to a Volvo innerpice:

Toyota - volvo:



Shorten a bit:


Shortet inn the lover pice:


More enough space:


A little more right angles to the shaft inside the car:

Made gearbox tunnel and some floor now. Then try to get the tunnel to the prop shaft and the floor finish within a week or something. So I can get started on the cage!

Floor plates are welded:


Made a "frame" around the gearbox and the hole in the floor:




Startet to welded it together:


Finnish welded:






If you wonder why it is so big on the passenger side, this is the reason:


Plenty of space for 3.5 "exhaust, so now the exhaust be" over "the floor of the car, so I will not be dragged with it

Things start to fall in place now, the floor will soon close again
I reckon to get started on the cage the week ahead now :smokin:

shaft tunnel:






raised floor slightly to accommodate the water pipes on one side and exhaust on the other side. I have also created a new "edge to the rear" and the fields where the cage will be:












Begin to clog up:


I also got 3.5 "flex and muffler the other day:


Then comes the least lots of pictures of cagebuilding

The floor finish welded:




The start of the cage

The start of the cage











x-in the roof:




Lowered the whole cage into the floor so we got the whole welded all around:




Engine out (quite long with turbo at front and with the 6speed transmission):


"Reinforcement plates"




cross behind the main bar and in the doors:




Poor mobile phone pictures of how it looks now, and one pair of welding pictures (coming reinforcement plates on the second crossing and, + the door openings:













Taking the car of the car-o-liner, The garage is VERY messy, so I now what to do


Had to put on some suspension parts to see how the wheel was in the fender opening, standing in the middle, but far out as being quite a little over widening I guess. Check the also the angle of the arms. This is way lower that 17 "is almost flush with the wheel arch (helps to put all the posturing, no" up "in the car


The car has came down on the wheels for the first time,and begun widening the rear arches to get the wheels below. There are a few things that I am not pleased to be changed on!



















New parts again:
66lbs injectors
turbodiper
Aeromotive BTR og filter:
