Title: Working on a panel van (project)
Post by: DeHavilland on March 13, 2014, 13:25
Hello, while the server is off, I spend my time with my friend to check how he builds a Volvo Duett Panel Van for summer cruisin' :) The car is from 1965 and he got it for 1 week ago and he hasn't done so much on it yet but it will have modified brakes from  Polestar, Volvo B20 engine from a Volvo 240 with 170hp (dual weber 45s) 16 valve. The rear axle is a diff modified 240. He will get it finished at some days, He need to put interior stuff, engine and paint it and then it's done! :)

So far it looks like this.
