Re: Astral Tweeks

Re: Astral Tweeks
It does look a bit strange mate, but you just pop thee panel off, connect two spade connectors, refit the panel and you're away. Beep beep!dubweiser666 wrote:Thanks VND!!!, I had a blonde moment there!!!
They're a lot nicer to drive with too.
A bit bigger and A lot more comfortable in your hand.
I'd recomend it as a very cheap pimp upgrade.
Stanard 340 hoops always feel a bit thin and cheap to me.

Re: Astral Tweeks
Sounds all good in the hood!, Rings at any Cross with GLT goodness applied!,
Our Father
who art on the trackside.
drifting be thy game.
Thy corner come.
Tyres must be spun.
In Ireland as it is in Sweden.
Give us This Day our burnt rubber.
And praise be to our Burnouts.
As we forgive those who drift against us.
and lead us not into the cop station.
But deliver us from the underground.
For thine is the lowered,the superlites and the cibies.
forever and ever.
Amen

Re: Astral Tweeks
The car has come a long way from those photos of it sitting in England!!!
Its good to see that it is being looked after, All the photos are good! You should def get it lowered a bit unless you are going to turn it into a monster truck!!!
I don't have a volvo but from my VW days I was always seeing people fitting new car parts into older cars - did always require modifying and effort but possible - you could consider an interior from a newer volvo I am sure someone will have written off a suitable donor car recently - should look down the scrap yard! If you need a hand I can offer my limited services

Re: Astral Tweeks
yeah James! I was thinking about a conversion to monster truck, seriously some 50 inch rims should do the trick,
I'll have that 2.5 engine from your Audi for a start
I dont know what other seat's fit in a 300, i'm quite sure 400 series volvo's dont!, dont know about the other volvo's if the seat's fit, maybe someone on the forum know's what seat's from other volvo's fit the 300??, please leave a comment!
it's too high and is crying out to be lowered, but i dont want to cut the spring's , that would just be so wrong!, would need to have all the parts to do it right, also the splitter only just gets over the speed bumps with little to spare i think i would have to remove it now to lower it,
thanks for the comment's! 300's, best car ever made (probably)

Re: Astral Tweeks
Hi mate.
Thanks for that. I take my old cars very seriously and for some scum bag to do that is just
devestating.How ever i will just have to get on with it.I hope whoever done it,gets run over
by a bus and gets smashed up just like my louvre.
