I have next friday off though, so I'll get the gears done next week, and the rear axle back in next friday. This weekend will get the front all cut off, and start mocking some stuff up. ;)

Steve, the new car looks great! congrats!!!

Looks like you found my money tree up on debt mountain :D


It's funny every one is like, O exscuse me "Mr. Richy Rich" now :rolleyes: All I did was trade in my wife's Truck, and raised her car payment by $100 bucks. My SAS is coming out of my bonus I got from work....of corse we are over that already though :(

We have had this same car, except its white, for three years now and have not had a problem with it in 95,000 miles. Good car; fast, sure footed, comfortable. You should have called me though, I have a friend whose father owns three Volvo dealerships (2 in San Diego, 1 in Palm Springs). We got ours on a zero percent interest lease, then bought out the residule at lease end. Saved us lots of money. Am thinking of trading this one in on a T5 or the R version.
 






After this post let's get back on topic here. :p

























So what are the plans for this Turbo Brick? :cool:

You forgot to tint the tail lights :p

Lowering it is out, she's scraping driveways now :rolleyes: If I did anything with it, it would be tint, and some lower profile tires. I wish the wheels were a little bigger too.
 






With a turbo? man I vote intake/exhaust chip at the very least :) even for wifeys car.
 


















The Volvo I want was in Petersons 4wheel mag about a year or so ago. It was a wagon (don't remember the model) but it had portal axles with 37's and the pic showed it getting totally sideways in the Dakkar rally :thumbsup:

Oh, and i'll finish before Steve by the way :p :D ;)

Because I'm Married....need I say more :p

That and my truck is at my Dad's house about 15 miles from where I live.

You don't want to see the cuts, they're really nasty. But dad kept using a old tip on the plasma :rolleyes: But we're going to trow a new one in tomorrow, should make it easier. Got to be carefull to, there is a fuel line that runs just inside the frame where the steering box will go. Plasma and fuel line, probally don't mix to well :p
