Which one?

Oh sorry that pretty 240 wagon with the nice paint and LS going in. I didn't know you had a few.

I have a parts car too, wasn't sure if you posibly saw it in a video. The wagon is moving along, slowly. I like to say that it's a money "taker" not a money "maker". The 8.8 is going in today so we can set it down as a roller and ck the springs/etc. Still have wiring & plumbing to do, then the interior. And exhaust. I'll post some update pics soon.

Slow but fairly steady progress on the Volvo! The 8.8 is done, packed with 3.73s and a True Trac. We made all of the mounting brackets, fits nicely. Sat the car down to spec the rear springs, what came off the donor car is too low/not enough capacity. But we can now move it! Roof rack is mocked up, still have to make the flooring and we have a ton of wiring/plumbing to do still. And exhaust. And interior. Who knows when it will get done. Ha.

Dave Letterman and Paul Newman would be proud of what you've done to the Volvo.
See if you can find some Euro spec headlights for it. They have replaceable H4 bulbs and put out better light.
