Soon to be mine 88' 740 Wagon
Hey guys, new to this site so this is my first thread on here. A little background.. a few years ago I purchased an 87' 760 Wagon with an old 5.0 v8 under the hood. Well, the car needs more work than I can provide (the floor pans are fu**** due to leak in sunroof..) anyways,
Edit: Went with a 91' 740 Turbo w/ boost pack Took this at work today, minutes after the purchase  Needs a paint job... Last edited by BrickStang; 05-02-2012 at 02:56 AM.. |

Any suggestions on where I should start? The car is bone stock.. I'm thinking euro headlights to replace the seperate high/low beams, paint side mirrors to match the car, front/rear bumper silver, definitely lowered w/ nice wheels, 850r rear spoiler, fog lamps

Good luck with the project. I had seen that particular car on craigslist before I bought mine.

then it's probably good for some power. just making sure it's not some backyard swap with any motor that says 5.0 on it.

Getting 250 wheel hp out of a stock volvo motor esp 90+ motors is very easy.
