Volvo 340 pickup

Post by Duvel78 » 30 Jun 2005 10:01 pm

Yesterday I was talking with one of the moderator here (Pete :P ) and I wanted to show him a picture that we could see on the Volvo 300 Club: a silver Volvo 340 saloon "converted" to a pickup version. The picture gallery on that site isn't available, but there is maybe someone from the club (Randomhero? Antiekeradio? Bodejodel?) who can upload pictures here? Thanks!!

Yeah, please, if any one can supply a picture, I'm very interested in seeing how it has been executed. I had a few plans in the past and other things have jumped the queue as usual, so it's fallen along way back! Maybe one day, however I need the correct car to butcher, the ideal choice I can see is a 360 GLT saloon, however, these weren't too common here, finding a decent one that's rust free, to then cut it up seems wrong, so maybe one with rear damage would be suitable.

That would be the perfect project to house the Nissan Turbo Diesel engine you have.

Hmmm, good point Rupert, I'd never thought of putting that engine in that project! Definitely something to consider there................ sm14
