[AgA] Volvo 340GL - Possible Project

[Aga]

Long time needed, here's the timeline of my volvo...

Bought it a few months ago, full stock 340 1.4, 2 owners and 104Kkm
electric windows in front, and that's about it..










i've done a general maintenence, oil, plugs, belt, filters, after that a new set of firestone tyres on standard size (175/70R13), recharge the shocks and lowred it 35mm, and mounted a set of Wolfrace Slot Mags on 6J13 ET15
now it looks like this..










now i'm coming to the point of deciding what to do with it..

thinking of more power, but not too mutch..
have a deal on a 1.7 from a renault 21 or a 1,8 16v of a Renault 19 16S


regards, Ricardo!

Looks really good on the slot mags!

thanks!


well now i've got 2 major problems..

in the right headlight some times it works, some times doesn't...
and the indicator don't self cancel and when I switch to high beams and them off it cuts the lights..

think I need a new part...

Nice

Maybe na Electric problem instalation, try a good autoelectrician

The headlight is probably a bad earth, check all the earth points.
The indercator not turning off off will be the white bit that pokes out of the stalk of the steering wheel.

thanks guys!


well last week feeling with courage, disassembled the front and worked my headlights
the plastic interior was very old looking, so painted it in heat resistent antracite



before




after






after reading on the FB page that the E30 spoilers were a good option, went on a local shop and buy one of those rubber ones..
and...

PERFECT!









next step, steering wheel...

As maybe seen on FB, last week got up making a thing I've been thinking for a while..

side stripes, made it with 3M vinil satin black..
and i like it a lot!!!

started lining it up


vinil on top




pull up the knifless tape, and it's done!!!

That's looking good now. The wheels look good, are they 13 inch? I've got some but not on a car yet! I was wondering what they looked like.

love the wheels man!

my friends, yesterday went on remove all the parts to cotinue my project..
a cool way to pass my BDay

one full mornig of work to end up with this lot







well a B18FT, think is a nice upgrade on my 340.
it was already mounted on a 360 hatchback, but stoped rolling in 5 years, and for 3 years it sited on the boot of the car with the rear window broken.. so it needs a lot of cleaning, painting etc..

i'm going to do this slowly, the goal is to be running by the end of next year...

Really like the stripe, what does it look like from the front wing?
