Aite since I'm kinda bored and all I'm thinkin about is this damn car anyway I'll go ahead and let ya'll in on my plans for it.
Immediate Changes (gonna start doing these as soon as my wallet recovers)
The wheels in the after pic are the exact wheels I am looking at buying. I also want to lower it. They are Tecnomagnesio Sport 17X7 in gold. I know its gonna be a bitch trying to fit even 17" on that car.. I really want some 18" but we will see. I may get some bit balla shinny chrome wheels too.. either way its gonna have bad ass wheels with some lo-pros.
Modify the grille like I did on my 242 so it will be a wire mesh grille...
A bad ass system, at LEAST 1 screen possibly 2 or even 3 (for the back seats), dvd/mp3 player, tv tuner, etc.. all that good stuff.. Starting with the stereo and subs and eventually work my way into the screens and the unnecessary stuff that imma get anyway cuz a player ride needs playa goodies.
I'm going to reclaim my strut tower braces from my mom's 245 (i put them on there after I killed my 242) and just about every suspension upgrade out there for my car.. ipd turbo swaybars, lower chasis brace (I may end up rigging something cus they look like some metal bars to me.. why pay $70 for them?)... see if i can track down that nick choy character and get some of his performance end links. pollyurethane bushings. All this stuff I am going to have to do a little research on becuase this car was cursed with a damn v6 so i'm not sure if everything can fit in its current form.. thats not to say that i won't MAKE it fit.
I think volvo honestly made a deal with the devil when they made the bertone coupes.
Satan: Yeah I can make one of the most playa volvo's you've ever seen... chopped top, hand stitched italian leather interior, real wood trim, BUT.....
Volvo: But what?
Satan: But you must get togeather with pugeot and renault and make a v6 engine that you MUST put in this car I create for you.
Volvo: But why?
Satan: Because I don't feel like spending the time to come up with a shitty engine for this car called the delorian that I am making.
Clear lights.. the front corners are incredibly simple to do and don't cost ya nuthin to mod but the rear tailight assembly is gonna require someone like me to come up with some crazy ass idea fer them to be clear. Possibly even fit an assembly from a different type of car...
I'm going to try and get a hold of a front bumper for an 850 and slap that bitch on it (an old volvo friend of mine Patrick did that do his 245 and it looks sweet.)
Some sort of body kit and rear spoiler.. maybe gank a spoiler from an 850t or something.
I'm going to have to do the dual exhaust mod that I did on my 242ti but since this is a v6 I may actually do true dual. gutted cats of course.
Far off mods:
Shave the door handles and repaint the car red or black or maybe even a pearl coat.. this is a wayz off because the car was recently repainted
put a big bad v8 in there.. i need to research this more because this is one thing that I am not too familiar with. Its gonna be chevy though and it will be built up. I'm thinkin a fuel injected 350 with a supercharger. I'm also investigating a 32v northstar engine outta a caddy. This is very far away from being done but it is something I'd eventually like to do. Can't have a dope ass lookin car thats slower than a stock 240 cuz of all the extra weight from all the girls that are gonna be in the pimp ride to be.. lol
There is a ton of other stuff I am plannin on doing to this car but first things first.. I need to go get it.. in about 12 hours I will be departing Austin headed towards bertone ownership. I'll let ya'll know whuts up... you might see a few more after pics later tonight if I get bored. unfortunately I only have 1 picture of the car to work with.
