Re: Other Volvo love
You need a saloon to build a pick up. Estates don't work very well with the rear end shape.

Re: Other Volvo love
And putting estate rear lights to cabin is going to look really bad, I think I have seen that done too
Put whole roof wide glass window over to rear passenger area of that Estate, that way people won't get soaked during the rain

Re: Other Volvo love
I'm guessing that'll be one of those highly restricted traktor things, for young drivers...?

It was apparently modified in San Francisco, USA by an art student (still has California plates on) but the seller says it can be further modified to run as an A-traktor in Sweden. So it's still a car, just a highly modified one.

Re: Other Volvo love
For you pickup lovers, this is Swedish A-Tractor with Diesel engine, sounds quite good and is not awful ugly?

Re: Other Volvo love
Don't get me wrong, i like ugly, i mean i drive a 340 but there is a limit to my ugly tastes
Maybe it would be better painted orange with the confederate flag on the roof?

Re: Other Volvo love
I thought this might fit in here. It's a 960 of one of the moderators (Peetu's car) at this finnish Volvo forum http://www.volvolandia.com
Specs:
B230 block, Penta crank, SPM rods, 97mm Wiseco pistons, 16V head ported by Sundsten, Nuke performance adjustable cam gears, 280 degree cams with 12,2 lift, KKK31 turbo 67 intake/76 exhaust and billet wheel, HKS 60mm wastegate, custom intake and exhaust manifolds, 1600cc injectors, 034 motorsport ignition modules and Tatech engine management system, gearbox is a BMW M5 Getrag and clutch is a 3-disc Tilton piece.
He took it to the dyno some weeks ago and results..
656HP/709NM!
Not without problems though. First the FPR blew up at the dyno, then some problems with the gear linkage and finally the whole plenum blew up when they tried to dyno with 2.5bar of boost but after those were fixed they got those amazing numbers out with 2.2 bars of boost.
Blown up plenum

He says it's still a surprisingly nice car to drive around and he plans to get the groceries with it in the future also... (Though not during the winter time I suppose.)
He has future plans whichs include full roll cage, carbon fibre bodypanels etc...
