Volvo 245 GT-D

Sorry my bad English

Have got a 93 mod Volvo 245 GL in Sweden
Was a little more rustic than I had hoped / promised. But the car for a reasonable price, so when I escaped and run with an empty trailer home from Gothenburg.

The car has just over 300k miles, been service car at Volvo until 2005

A couple of pictures of the car:







The aim of the car is to build a full-rigged racecar with speed license. The plan was to maybe try to run some of the GT series and some drifting .. hehe

The goal is to try to build a car that can run both in racing and drifting. So it should not be so much finnish on this car as the previous one. But have to still look good hehe. Will see how this takes off.

A Toyota Soarer.I would take complete front and rear Suspension of this over in the Volvo



Engine, I will not say anything about yet. Standing between a couple of options I do not quite able to decide yet. So we take along.

The plan is to have stripped both vehicles also mount the chassis first, also take it from there

got the dismantled bit yesterday, is still a couple of things, then get to take it next week, the car almost entirely out of parts

Throw out a couple of pictures:








And have well decided that there is an LS1 with Single Turbo + + +

The engine has been sent from the USA, is 02 LS1 engine, and looks like I bought my turbo today. Was a Garrett T51, so hope it's going to be okay.
Focus on getting dismantled last remnant of the car today also

The car is fully stripped and lifted onto the trailer. Will run it for a guy who should wash the shit before I start. But do not know when he has time for that yet only

Also, I bought me a brakekit, I would see if I had used the back. Just hope it fits.
Is 330 slices with fixed center and 8stp kalipter

Also a couple of pictures when

Almost pure body:

Display a little tit-bits with the car the other day, he would wash it did not have time. So when I do it myself, I thought

Also on my Escort I have created a body tilt



Had been all right to use this on Volvo `n and, so when I made 2 new brackets and placed on wheels so I could have pushed it out, etc.








ready to be pushed back in and then start cutting soon: D


Has not been worked so much on the car during the day, 1 week on holiday also started a new job the week here

But had taken power last weekend. Looks very good 2002mod been 50000 LS1:
