Tossed a different set of wheels on the 240 today...

Thanks guys, I appreciate it!
It's a fun project, a whole lot of research, planning, and figuring things out yourself. Followed by making things yourself. And then remaking them better.
Maybe I'll see some of you guys out at autocross this upcoming season.

Looks like it has more room than a van, pretty sweet.

Going camping with this car is great. Sleeping in the back is so comfortable, and I'm 6'4".

Thanks! The coupe is a much nicer car. This was shipped over to WI from California about 8 years ago, and it has never seen snow. 100% rust free... which is quite the change from the wagon.
I'm excited to get going on this one. I love the 2 doors, and was really lucky to get my hands on this one.

that coupe is sharp!!!

progress? oh boy...

Wow! Looks like one hell of a project. Definitely keep us updated on this one. Looking good so far!

I'll drop pictures in here from time to time, but here is the dedicated project thread on the volvo forum: http://forums.turbobricks.com/showthread.php?t=284730
Tom are you going to swap the motor out of the wagon into the coupe?
Yep! It'll get pretty much everything from the wagon. In a couple years I'd really like to put a worked over m50/52 in it and cram some air in it. Volvo redblocks are pretty capable little tractor motors that can provide a lot of fun at minimal expense, but I really love pretty much everything about the bmw inline 6s.
Here are a few pictures:

Stock removable core support? Jelly! I need to design one for the front end damage prone E28s
