Default Inspiration for 740s
There's a thread full of sweet 240's so why not start one for the 740s
what 740s got you happy and inspired and wanting to get your project done

this is the video that got my cup of 740s started for me

I show that video to all the nonbelievers.

My first Volvo was an free white '87 745. I was looking at 245's and Subaru wagons before my first daughter was born. I ended up with that car and it was all over.

yeah i know about the foglights..they were trashed when I got the car, and I removed them after I had the bumper fixed and repainted.
and heres the engine as it sits now, new turbo and IC going in very soon:
