[AgA] Volvo 340GL - Possible Project
[AgA] Volvo 340GL - Possible Project
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!

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...

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!
they are 6J13 ET15
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...
