Nice.
As it is a Volvo. do you have to drive with your headlights on
(It used to be a UK joke in the seventies when Volvos were first seen un the UK with their lights always on)

Cool, I like the R gauges.

Could you post some details about the car. Like what engine and running gear you used. It looks like a turbo with the exhuast. How does it go with that engine? I know you Swedish guys get crazy HP out of Volvo 8v Turbos.

Can you tell i'm a Volvo lover?

Again, nice car!

It`s a 2.3 L engine,Double Weber carbs, 210 Hp, M47 Gearbox and a rear axle from Volvo 740 with a race diff.

This Engine runs very nice
Next year iám going to replace this 2.3 L to a 2.5 L

And the car is nice to drive to!

Nice Rsport gauges !!
