800 euro? That's a steal!

Billiebob. They are almost identical in appearance :) Cool vehicles nonetheless. That portal axle xc70, wow!

Billiebob. I don't disagree, but those are Pinzgauers, not Volvo's ;)

I saw a build just like that on this very forum several years ago. If I'm not mistaken they went to Iceland with it. Try searching and you might find it. Very cool build.

You can run a pretty thick cable along the a-pillar window trim without it blocking your view or getting in the way of the wipers. Lots of good sticky stuff available to make it semi permanent. Much better than drilling through the roof.

Nice car, wish you all luck with your project. You might want to look elsewhere for your driveshafts however. The XC90 is based on the P2 platform and shares driveline components with the xc70 making them equally ************.

That's one heck of a build! Cool!

Here's some more information on the subject: http://www.focusfanatics.com/forum/mk3-focus/290052-2012-focus-towing-capacity-5.html In europe max towing speed for all trailers/caravans regardless of vehicle is 80 kph /50 mph. (There are uprated caravans and trailers that can be towed at...

Nice Daily drivers. Biggest issue is that the suspension and driveline components are not really strong enough for such a heavy car. Offroad driving is out of the question without serious upgrades.

I am by no stretch of the imagination an expert on the matter, but. If you fix the camper to the chassis, there's a good chance you will warp the whole thing. It will probably not like moving with the chassis. I'd say stick with the 3 point system, but maybe beef it up a bit. Sweet looking ride...

Gotta love those mini velodrome tracks. They're a lot of fun. Clearly I must visit Trysil while it's still MTB season :)

Bull****. Nice bump by the way. Way to go.

We do this to all our work cars who have lights and antennas on the roof. By far the best soloution in my opinion. No need to cut holes. No need to worry about leakages and you can remove it without leaving a trace.

The ethanol 1,8f engine and the 2.0f 4 cylinder are both Ford engines.

Lots of great ideas posted. I live in an area that get 17 hours of darkness during winter, so I like drivinglights. What I would do, and probably will when I get a truck/SUV is this: Get two 6"+ pencil beams for the front and a curved lightbar for the roof. Pencil beams will give you more than...

Stay away from pre 2003 awd models all together. 2005 up are Great. Granted spare parts can be a pain I've heard. An autoshop who can't work on a Volvo? Not much skill there..

On our work cars we run the cable from the roof lights along the windshield and into a fuse box under the hood. Works great even with HAM-radio wire. The guys who install it use a high grade superglue to fix the cable.

Looks like you could use an odd pipe or two :wings:
