Got the New family car today.

It's a 1978 Volvo 244 Wagon , but before you start screaming and running in horror (you can do that after). It has something different about it :

*Worked 308 -- Forgies, roller rockers , head work etc... bout 340HP when tuned up right.

* Turbo 350 trans --- Shift kit , no stall.

* LSD Diff.

Its Red... its ugly... it just might kick your ass with a load of shopping and three kids in the back.:wave:

Volvo Mods completed:

* B&M Megashifter Quickshifter.

* Sprint Gas Conversion

Next mod will be the fitting of the Edlebrock manifold I bought last night for $99. Should get me another 25HP.

Hosed an VU SS last night, he couldn't believe it. Ahh.. so much fun it's criminal.

well...technically I'm a trev when driving the volvo too.

The wagon might get to the drags later. Depends whether the kids and wife like walking back home if I blow something up...then again I could bring the skyline and we could all pile in that:D

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
