So this whole build started out with me needing another car for my girlfriend, i had just bought a v70 xc that was in extremely good shape. Obviously i was going to buy her a Volvo 240. I stumbled across this diamond in the rough.
Well i got it for the total cost of 643 dollars with new plates and everything. and she drove it in the hot Sacramento sun for 3 weeks before she wanted out of it. No AC is unacceptable for a girl these days! So i gave her my v70 i hated that car, abs modules going out, blew the head gasket, just alot of work. so i started getting into the 240, i couldnt contain myself.
I had the pegasus from my old 245, they looked great on the white sedan!
First off i swapped in a Electric fan, IPD sways, Adjustable torque rods/Panhard rod. Gt upper strut plates, diesel front springs wagon rear springs. bilstien touring shocks up front. Heavy dutys in the rear.
Then i got a engine, tranny, turbo, a crap load of steel braided lines, Full LH2.4 harness and chippable computers.
So as the car sits right now it has a Super lowmileage 1993 AW71 and B230FT, it has a chinabay .50/.63 turbo with a stock garrett wastegate (that isnt working worth a damn right now for some reason) it has the full LH2.4 harness swap in it, 850 t-5 injectors, Homebrew 3.5 inch downpipe with a shortened wastegate arm so it opens extremely fast. it has a relocated filter, am using the 93+ water cooled oil cooler, and going to also run a air cooler too.
Now with 91+ power steering
Interior work is becoming a huge focus as when this car is finished it will be my daily driver.
Old
New
as it sits now, its running i am still working out bugs. got the pegs on my 944, now im looking for some tethys. Going to post pics of the actual swap in a little bit.
Here they are!
the big guy in the pictures mainly operated the hoist. it was a real struggle to work with someone who has never touched a car before.
