Have been missing my old Volvo and popped on to see what's going on here. Glad to see it's still active. Hope everyone's doing well. RIP to Johann, miss him and will always think fondly of him and of our conversations and friendship till the end there. Life's a bitch.

it actually happened last weekend. Passed inspections in two attempts. First meeting ever after 47 years. RMS was leaking but when we came back after a few days the floor was covered in oil again. Decided to drop the oil pan, replaced two gaskets and new silicone all round the oil pan. Easier said then done, stripped the engine bay and pulled the engine. Custom subframe, well…everything is custom. He really went full-Johann with the Datsun. Drives like an old car but the engine feels new. It’s runs on a standalone ecu, stockish map doing 0.5 bar boost. Overboost around 6500 but that’s scary. It’s capable of a lot more boost, but it’s ok this way, for now. Met the previous owner last weekend and a lot of Datsun enthousiast. Now on jacks for four new tyres. Next up is the SAM carrier.

Man that makes me miss my T5M. Second pic looks much better. Prefer the Xc grill and dark wheels. Pic from yesterday.

new shoes, decided to change it up after many years on the volans....

Yup, sits comfortably in the new garage lol. Was just looking through photos from 11+ years ago, thinking I need to buy some gunmetal wheels for it.

Looks good though.

With that sad look upon your face I should've changed that stupid lock Or made you leave your key If I'd've known for a second You'd be back to bother me Go on, go, walk out the door Turn around now You're not welcome anymore You're the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye Think I'd crumble? You think I'd lay down and die? No, not I, I will survive Long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive I've got my life to live And all my love to give and I will survive I, I, I will survive Not gonna lie, I was just going to keep posting I will survive lyrics.
