I've got a V50 & a 121, had two 940s, a 960 and a 740. I loved the 740 the most. The pre-face lift 740 is about the most boxy 80s car ever. Enough room in the engine bay to stand in front of the engine. The load space in the old 740 and 940 estates puts the modern volvo estates to shame. I could fit a massive table in my 745, I can fit a water bottle and a biro, and maybe a pack of cards in my V50 if i really slam the boot down hard enough.

Yeah tbh it's one of many "different" ideas I've had for 306's I personally would not be likely to do it. Yeah I've always liked them too there a boody good car and the t5 engines are amongst my favourite. Sweet definitely put up a project thread ! You should do something on youtube about it too

Haha V50 life.

Everyone assumes they're a Volvo estate, therefore huge... Then you try and put something big in it - nope!

That really irritates me about the V50 ! Why did they do that ? Drove a couple of 1.8's and a 2.0 diesel and I have to say I wasn't impressed by them. Want to try an older Volvo though preferably a t5 there supposed to be fantastic to drive

Friend of mine has an 850R auto and its a monster, he only has use of 1 arm (hence having an auto volvo)
