Discussion thread: //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/39819-twin-volvo-project/

 

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 :)

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.
