After some questions about the Volvo I'll put up some info on it, but I already got a thread on the norwegian Volvo forum, so this thread is probably not going to contain everything.

The car is a 1989 Volvo 740 (745) estate, with a 2,3 litre 16 valve engine and 5 speed gearbox.

I've changed the gearbox from a 4spd+overdrive. I've changed the rear axle from a open diff, to an axle with LSD.

The interior was originally beige full leather, and I've changed it to all black half leather. The sunroof is changed from steel to glass.

There are Bilstein Racing dampers,60/40mm lowering springs, 25mm anti roll bars.

The stereo is allright as well, with a Kenwood 2-DIN head unit, 4x 6,5" speakers, 2x 6"x9" speakers, and 2 12" subwoofers.

I've mounted original volvo styling skirts, roof wing and USA-headlights

Some old and new pictures:

This makes me miss my old '86 740 GL sedan Smile
Do you have a link to the norwegian site?

Edit: Never mind, I found the norwegian project thread Smile

Nice looking cars Smile

Love the older Volvos Smile,years ago I had a 262 Auto with the PSA 2.6 litre V6 and then a 1.8 244 manual - I used them as a daily but also as tow car for my glider trailers.
The 262 was the only auto I ever owned but it was such a torquey engine if you were driving gently it was a seamless shift.
At 22mpg (262) and 28mpg (244) they eventually became too expensive on fuel,I did think about converting the 244 to turbo diesel and have always regeretted not doing it LOL
One of the things I loved about them was that you could have warm air to your feet and cool air on your face at the same time Smile
