out of interest, did you weld the plates to the chassis and then the rails to the plates? (how it looks in the pics) - as it's much easier to weld the rails to the plates and then the plates to the chassis... for anyone elses future reference, though i doubt anyone will do this much work on a 300 themselves for a long while yet....

Looking good though!

OMG! I'm glad to see someone who's keeping the volvo devolopment going in the drifting field instead of binning them. Love it well done. By the way I have moved house with no internet so I rarely get chance to come on here.

Cage painted:



I also got home one of these devices:

i love this car man its awsome aye

the work you've done is insane well done man!!!

the work youve done is pretty similar to what im aiming for so its good to able to see how someone else has done it, so i can get an idea of what im getting myself inot lol.

I would recommend to weld some plates between roll cage and a- and b-posts to strengthen the structure. Like HERE or HERE or HERE.

Keep up the good work.

With limited budget and time that was one of the things we left out...

Finally:


I got a refund because they didn't make the front leg adjustable, i don't know why, probably doing it myself..



Rear setup is just.........utter porn:



Cant wait to try it on the car

Nice!

Are those rear coilovers going to replace the rear leafs? If so what kind of suspension setup you are going to put? 4-link? Or is that an extra spring like yellow Konis for 300-series had.

Yellow konis actually existed for the 300 then Fuse? I've never seen any and was trying to find this out a while back.

the dutch 360 racing scene used them allmost standard, specific 300 yellow koni shocks aren't available anymore.

What happened with fronts?? on website they got "full on coilovers"!..
What sort of refund did You get??[/quote]

Thancks, the plan is to have them as a additional spring this season, but I want to maybe explore 4 link setup later on, maybe next season?

Back to the progress, still needs one more layer of paint:


I am in the progress of modifying dai top mount to fit the new damper, but hope i cat get the suspension on soon

Good progress Nikdev! When do we get some movies?
