Ok Gene. I am damn proud of you.
That is a beauty.

What do you want to do to it?
What is wrong with it?
Are you going to name it?

Gah..so many questions.

Love it.

HonestJhon · 09-25-2007, 01:21 AM

thats a beautiful representation of a car that not many people take for a volvo without looking at the badge.

and to me, it looks like there isnt anything wrong with it. amazing! good find!

Just fix little things and enjoy it. Maybe airbags, but i've only started to see how complicated that is.

It has new fenders.

One other thing i've been mulling over is to put a b234 straight up in there. No turbo just a nice motor that should simply

bolt in

The oilpump housing on the b234 block and the steering gear get real cozy on the 1800. I suppose it is the same on the 122.

BoxDriver2 · 09-25-2007, 07:04 PM

Too nice to mod [OK, maybe some wheels, iPD sways]

SteveMD · 09-25-2007, 07:38 PM
