Slightly Secluded

Finally managed to sus the tires and get them fitted!

Took the car round to a mates place that night with half decent garage setup to cut the springs and fit the wheels

We cut 1 coil off the front and rear and rolled the guards with a hammer

Pretty stoked with way it all turned out heres a few pics since:

got it a wof and reg as well so should be sweet for summer cruising

want to try get racks and a windshield visor now maybe also lower the front a bit more...

Euans just bought wheels so hopefully his cars gona be done in the next couple of weeks

So we picked up a set of 15x8 black D windows the other day and our spacers/converters arrived this morning

we test fitted the rear this afternoon:

gona get 185/50/15 tires all round which will hopefully fit in the guards

now just waiting for pay day and getting the springs cut in a couple weeks

I saw that Volvo on trademe a wile ago, they are realy good cars, I have heeps of bits and peaces for a 240, they don't fit my 245 waggon if you need?

Cheers bro you wouldn't have a external sun visor by any chance??

Good to see more volvo's popping up on here. what are your plans? i run 360's and 850's. Photo's mate.

thats dope bro. were ordering pcd adapters to 5x114.3 hopefully tomorrow and eventually getting widened steelies and most likely just cut the springs at this point

heres a link to the build thread: //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/39818-twin-volvo-project/

Names: Oscar, Yoshka and Euan

Location: Waiheke Island

Cars you own: 1986 and 1987 Volvo 240 GLE

Mods to them: Both stock. hopefully not for long

How you found out about oldschool: Mates

How would slammed cars fare in Waiheke? Sorry if that is a daft question but for some reason I imagine Waiheke is a lot of dirt roads interspersed with a few paved roads.

The roads out the other end are pretty shocking had a mates lowered shuttle here when we moved and bottomed out a few times but otherwise pretty similar to roads out west which is algood haha

How sketchy is the ramp onto the ferry.

Volvo's are cool, gotta be heaps slam though.

/go look at Eddie kilbanes volvo thread.

depends what ferry you get haha the worst one is about curb height and you have to reverse on which is shit

damn that eddie killbane thread is epic! definite inspiration

All photos are taken with iphones btw haha

Discussion for our twin Volvo 240 GLE project. We don't have much experience with them so we're just gona learn as we go

A month ago Euan moved over to Waiheke island to live with me and Oscar and brought over his 1986 Volvo 240 GLE. we've all talked about how dope it would be to stance a 240 but finding adjusties or even wheels that fit 5x108 are such a mission. but it was always the idea that one day it would happen.

Me and Oscar were looking for a car since we moved here 6 months ago but never found the right one. until 2 days ago.

A 1987 Volvo 240 GLE came up on Waiheke trading and the next morning the owners were pleased to take $300 cash

so we went for our first Volvo cruise on the island...

Our one doesnt have a wof or reg due to rust but hopefully we can suss it soon. in the mean time we just spent the afternoon cleaning it and painted the rocker cover:

We've been looking at stud pattern adapters and wheels and little things to add so hopefully we can actually start these projects in the next couple of weeks.
