Sup guys, new here and to the world of volvos. been doing vw's for the past 11 years, figured it was time to start something new. Picked up a 79 242gt, not sure of the plans I have for it, maybe a lift kit and 26” wheels. Anyways here's a pic of it

And here's some of the vw's i've done over the years

Hola!

Welcome, buddy, like the old VWs, especially the Scirocco. Look forward to seeing what you do with the new one.

sup dude, where you at? im from SA town

Just don't put oversized wheels on it ;) I hope the 26" was a joke haha. That GT deserves more respect than that, it was borne to perform.

Anyways welcome and you got an awesome peace of history there! I'm jealous!

Just moved out of a house on Skillman and Marquita and just moved to a bigger house of my own in the Mockingbird and Abrams area
