My 3ltr v6 project

[vtr170]

Not what you will all probably expect but i need to make some money, lol... And as you were all aware i had a volvo 740 intercooler estate a while ago, i decided to buy a new volvo this time a 1989 volvo 760 2.9 v6 estate. The car is a beast. It need a little bit of tlc but should make a nice bit of profit ;)

Im looking at my next volvo already i love them they are good for drifting in the wet, lol...

Here are sum pics!!

Thsi could be interesting...

That engine bay looks... Erm... Confusing!!!

[Smiff]

i get stuck behind a volvo estate every sunday

A good clean i.e a machine polish and a thorough clean in the bay and I'm sure you will make a profit;)

my friend has a delorean... think its the same engine. utter wank piss poor power and grunt, maybe a volvo is light enough to get it drifting hehe

[106_Andy]

love the shagpile in the boot haha, kinda like those volvos, the interior seems so homely...

Turn your lights off...

Yes mate, i washed it yesterday going to t-cut it today and get some autosol on the metal... Then maybe a good machine/hand polish... Same old with these volvo's though they never brake :)

Yeh i drifted the last one i had for a while but that was a 2.3 turbo, was alot quicker than this one. But this one does sound good!!

No offense, but how can anyone like the look of one of these? so ugly! lol

when i saw the title thought you was on about a 3.0 v6 in a 106 was like WTF! lol.

Good way to make some profit though ;)

[vtr170]

Tht was the idea!! Who cares when payign £1k for a car anyways... Its big spacious, taxi drivers, caravaners and farmers love them, quite a demand in the right place :)

[vtr170]

well after looking over the paintwork closely i decided there were a few parts that needed t-cutting and that a good whoring session wouldn't go a miss.... So i started on the car yesterday just after it finished snowing :)
T-cut before the volvo

T-cut during the volvo experience

Then t-cut after the volvo ate it :)
