mad props on the crazy craftsmanship, looking forward to more pics!

Took the wife for her first ride in the car....

Sounds like it's just loud enough.

Ya....yesterday it was horrible...glasspacks only I hated it. Added spintechs after the glasspacks and its really nice now.

I know exactly where you filmed that, one of my favorite spots to go for a drive.

my buddy saw you in langley yesterday, driving around with no hood.

nice overtake on double solid yellow

Ya I think that driver was drunk, driving erratically, it was safer to get around them.

I pass by a (stock) volvo extactly like yours on my way to work each morning.

It's a daily reminder of the cool ass project I'm not working on at home :(

lol

LOL....

I'm surprised you haven't said anyting about your new plans yet Rob:whistle:

Cuz I don't even know what plan i'm going with....



Ok, so I have this idea that if I go drifting in this car, I don't want to rebuild the 1/4 panels if I tap a wall.....

So I took what I know about building bumpers that survive short course racing....My truck bumpers are original, and I have personally destroyed or bent at least 3-4 rear bumpers from people in front of me

And applied it to this car, with a touch of hot rod, and a dash of concealment....

^Agreed. Never thought I'd say this, but I NEED MORE VOLVO!

love to see this in the summer meet!

You just might....

Slow and painful....but getting somewhere. I picked up some non rusty doors so that's why the overspray on the door. Still some work to do at the bottom around the rocker panel, but these 1/4's have been plaguing me since the beginning and I needed to get them smoothed and primed.

coolest build on RS,

Quick update....been driving it, been smoothing 1/4 panels, and finally got some flares on.....pic is in grayscale to take away from the distraction of primer and paint on the car. Still a bunch more fitting, and trimming of the flares but its nice to not see so much tire!

450hp /415ftlbs Toyota 2UZ out of a desert race truck. This one is fresh, the class it was in was a spec class, so it has a low compression ratio, and they had a rev limit of 6000rpm. The motor builder said there is lots more power if you could spin it to 7000. :) :) These motors were $20,000 each when new.....I got 2.5 of them for a song....

I will change it back to EFI and run a Haltech on it. Should be fun!!!

where in the world you found that?...

I know a guy....now I have 1 mint one, 1 with a blown head gasket and one for parts. The crank is worth 6K alone. lol

:eek5r: This looks so fucking awesome!

Whats "low"? Just wondering to make that kinda power.

Great to see some more pics finally, I've been itching to see more!!
