A few pictures
The car as it was 1997


When a bought it it look like the Volvo 240 God forgot.
The engine was busted , the chassie was dented all over and there was a cykle speedometer in the dash etc.
The original plan was 20" wheels and the car was broaden 3 cm on each side but lack of intresst and a yellow brick came in the way so 2003 i terminated the build.

This was the car when i waked it from its 4 year old slumber in september 2007






The car have found its way to the garage for some maintenance

































On the 15th august i took it home again after 8 months in a barn

Started to clean up under the bonnet and remove all there was


The former owners had done a poor paint job. The paint fell off when i cleaned it with sponge and water.





The new rims 19" 8,5"


Next is to remove the borg warner gearbox and sand blast the engine room and then
remove the axels and suspentions and turn the car on the side to fix the rust and all the wireing under the car.
U will be updated as i go along.
Estimated time on the project , 3 years

Start to look lika a car


New flathood on but it had a few dents when i unpacked it
but i will fix them before going to paint


New rim on place


unfortunately the rim is a little bit to wide with ET4. I have to use spacers 20mm
to get it cleared from the brakes.


In time this will be fixed , first...................


The breakes. The rim where not cleared with the original breaks
so i had to change them


With 240 Breakes and 20mm spacers
