Oil catchcan....



Blow-off Valve....





What gave me a bit of a headache was the oildrain from the Turbo.After severall attempts to make one myself I decided ta have it made.









Fixing is simpel....


Not a drop of oil was lost since this was installed

I did som minor changes to the interior

Found a nice set of seats....



Like this .... they match







These came from a V40.....

I had to make a new fittingplace for the rear licenseplate.

I was pleased to have found an original mkII frontspoiler.The only problem was.............it was shattered into pieces,but all those pieces where still there.I used to like jigsaw puzzles................

Inspiration came from this car


The epic prototype with the 2.7 liter V6

So I got me some material and started going





These parts where cut on the car..............a bit tricky but all went well

Nice work!

Brilliant, fantastic thread! It has quite a few throwbacks to my old saloon too, you have good taste sir

Thanx voor the compliments!

Nice clean build, the earlier front splitter looks good on that car.

I thought so too .The MKIII version of the spoiler is a bit to big imo...but if it had been that one I would have taken it anyway

What I like about this build is that it could almost have come from the factory that way.

Considdering the parts I used you could be wright Dai. Most of these parts where also available in the 80´s.So why not build the car.I think that it would not have been a car that would sell a lot after all,the 300 serie's where initally build for a kind of conservative buyers.I don't think Volvo wanted a toy car in its range.With the knowledge we have now its easy to say that they might have been wrong on that.But cars like the 363CS or the BlackBeauty based 2litre 16V(By Denzel)could have been direct hits en would have given the 300 series a realy big imageboost.On the other hand....there where over a million build.....................I guess they didn't realy need a car like that to sell the 300 series.

I met a man a few mounths ago who actually testet both cars for Volvo(the 363CS and the BB 2L16V).We couldn't talk about it that time because we both where a tight scedule that day.But I've got an invitation to come back and he promissed me to have som intresting facts and stories about the 2 cars.So I hope to see him soon.................

Great work sir. I have a set of those sill trims on the banana. They work well.
I also like the way you have worked your volts gauge into the dash clocks
Cheers Mark.

That sounds like a thing not to turn down. A few years ago I met the chap who was running the GrpA 300 in the UK Lombard RAC, very interesting conversation.

Updates..................................................................................................

I changed all tubes ....steel-> alloy......





The oilcatchcan got a new position.
All vacuum,pressure and coolant hoses are replaced by silconehoses
overall.............................



I also but in a new radiator and an electric fan.

The sidepipe is gone......




Instead of that I got a 3inch Simmons mufler....



.....and a Powersprint endmuffler....also 3 inch.
