Found the lowest point of the wagon now cab sort out the suspension, slow progress but its coming along

Ex850R

Love your work!

PrettyPretty happy with the wagons looking at the moment, roof is painted, engine bay painted same with all the bumpers now just slowly piecing together the front end before I tackle the suspension

Atleast the original red still comes up alright with a decent polish ( dont mind roof its just dust didnt realise how bad until editing photo)

If anyone is interested there is a car show on at my property this SATURDAY April 17th where my volvo will be on display aswell as a lot of other cars from mini trucks, hotrods, street machines, lowriders, bikes and more

if want info on the show check out RUSTY'S RIVER RUN (saturday) on facebook,

its only in SACKVILLE NSW (SYDNEY HAWKESBURY)

That night pic without the bonnet is really cool - almost looks like it has a perspex bonnet (or you could imagine that) or it's an X-ray image of some sort! :)

From the show i had at my property couple weeks ago, pretty happy with how it looked

i now have a set of factory 240 steel wheels to go on so i can move it around easier an be able to put it into the shed to get some more work done,

hopefully be back into it this weekend.

The red looks good polished up, should throw some wax on it to keep the shine going longer.

I reckon if you paint the A, B and C pillars black to match the roof and D pillars, you'd have a nice 2 tone scheme going on, but that's just my 2c

shanepike

Yeah it's already got wax on it I still need to actually properly buff an polish it was done by hand not the greatest,

I did think about painting the pillars but the more I thought about it the more it was going to look convertible being red vs the black wasn't really keen on it but I might try it one day.

Went to try on a mates wheels turns out they don't fit but still get the picture, will be buying a set of these soon.

Jegs ssr spike wheels I absolutely love a good drag style wheel

Getting painted - Project 740 EP:6 - YouTube

Small video of what was happening with the volvo leading up to the car show, i did miss a bunch of filming of painting etc but you get the idea,

Just to clarify it was painted with spray cans just for the show so the car looked somewhat presentable, the wagon will be getting wrapped eventually so most things you see painted will be covered.

i also got my render back from the graphic designer and im stoked with the outcome,

all metallic black with embossed lace roof which you will only see if you really look at it closely (lace not in render)

RC comp billet wheels - 16x5 front - 15x9 rear

Quad lights

the only thing missing is the front splitters and the stripes down side of car other then that its exactly how the wagon will look when done hopefully.

Bamalam!

Seeing from when i got it to where it is now im pretty happy with the way its going.

I have also recently gotten my old 940 out of storage after two years, it still runs and drives no issues so this engine and driveline will be coming out to help with the wagon like spare parts etc

but the whole car is FOR SALE minus the engine and driveline so if you need parts just message me

and everything will be going cheap!
