I reckon with a set of rims, that'd be looking pretty tidy! Any plans power-wise? Seems to me that's your limiting factor for sideways fun.

Sure thing mate, want a piccy of the old ones? Mick did them last time, so (hopefully) will know the font. I've got one here that can be measured too.

GREAT ITS BROKEN ALREADY

Wasnt even doing anything and i lost all drive and can put the car in and out of gear without the clutch while the engines running but there is no drive to the back wheels think its the clutch maybe the box.

Surely a broken / stretched clutch cable would stop you changing gear?

You've broken something at the back end, by the sounds of it. My bet will be that it's the link between the torque tube and gearbox. It really shouldn't break with stock power, unless you were doing something really crazy. It could also be a snapped half shaft, or something within the gearbox, but the link piece is probably favourite.

Not used to volvos so learning all the time but if anybody has any ideas please feel free to post.

You can get a cheaper clutch from eBay. I bet it's not the clutch, though.
