volvogeek Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Finally picked up a '79 242 DL today. Advertised as needing some work, but nothing major - and the benefits FAR outwieghed the risks. Freshly powder-coated Virgos, good tires, billsteins, jamex lowering springs, ss brake lines, iPd swaybars, blaupunkt audio, and TWO DOORS!Fairly good paint, commandos and a flathood conversion, what more could I ask for? Here's some pics:Not to bad, I think. All it needs right now is a fuel pump relay, head gasket and tags. Oh, and the R-Sport Cluster I fixed. Easy peasy, lemon squeasy. And then plans for a turbo engine shall commence. Mwahahahaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

volvogeek Posted September 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 does this mean you'll be selling the 855R???Ah, no. If anything I'll probably get ANOTHER 855/V70 (R if possible) so that this can be my project car.Thanks for the kudos, plans are to basically +T this with a fresh 405 head I've got laying around, -Kjet +Megasquirt. I've got to ping the understudy and get some details on his fuel rail. Then maybe if I win the lottery I'll drop in a T6. Right. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
