Wow nice project! Looking forward to seeing more! :)

Its slow progress and rescuing as much chrome bits I can. Since the engine started , its done almost 2000 km on the stand. Pic of the rescued chrome bits .

Back on my 264 project . New Exhaust turned up and some odd bits done last week . Exhaust system is from Skandix Starla SWE .

Removed rear headrest and dash , cleaned and gave some plastic treatment .

Looking to pre wire for new speakers etc and fitted Rear 3rd Break Light . Rear Seat belts all looks fine . That's it for today.

Nice. Love how you're documenting the build.

It more for me to remember what I did and where things go. I tend to forget...things ?

    Slow progress some update on bits and bob . To keep it stock looks and not cut into front door trim for R-L Speakers , I found this Retro Sound Dual cone speaker perfect for the Center Grill. Also found this Volvo CR-2170 Period Cassette Stereo from Ebay in good working condition 4x8watt RMS .

    chrome trim, weather seal and trim clips restored and plastic clips purchased
