The Green 940 now has stiffer and lower suspention. Koni adjustable front shocks and double swaybars in the back. We hope we can get some fast corners with it.

We had a local Volvo guys meet and dyno day. Had a nice day and lots of fun = beer and proper sauna after some car fun. Best looking car - P1800S restomod. T5 engine 246kw and 508Nm. Video of P1800S doing donuts. three generations of Volvo coupes. From the back. 80's/90's era 780 Bertone 60's/70's era P1800S 90's/00's era C70

Like I always tell you all, we are insane in here. The green 940 Volvo. Well... We had an idea to turn that into a track day car for this event: http://www.youngtimer.ee/voistlused Youngtimer Time Attack we have to 07.07 to turn this thing into a "race" car. The plan: original B230FG engine gets a turbo and a new exhaust. This engine type has no cat as it was made for eastern-europe/ russian market. Has the best stock Volvo cam, so it might be a bit fun. From my parts car we got proper stiff loweing springs and adjustable shock to match. Still thinking of going even lower and stiffer. We got a lot if stiff BMW springs in stock. This is what is looks like @ the moment.

is the color restorable or does it need a respray?

And more pics again 😄 I know, I'm hopeless in that part. But I keep a journal of the build like that. Took her outside and this thing with light rear end now acts more like my 620 did. Nice. Lifted the donor car near the building to get power to anglegrinder and went at it. Removed the rear pillars, still need to cut away the rear of the white car and the roof skin. You can also see our transport and crane truck - old Merc Actros 6x2. Still need some trimming 😉 but this starts to give some idea where to but the rear part. Going to reinstall the seats to get the interior to perfect size.

I like the gascan, that is just cool.

Preping the "donor" for surgery.

Ready for next step - adding rear part to the cabin from a donor. After that we will remove the roof skin and add a new one from the donor car.

You should come visit us in estonia in february and join us in the oldtimers winter rally :D. Keep up the progress.

Removed some more of the old cab. This gave me access to roof structure, going to weld the rear part of the donor car to that and to the side on the bottom. With that fixed I'll cut of the roof and but on one from the donor.

"Local" Cars & Coffe visited with our red 940. Local by US standards - 4h drive - for us it is another country Latvia. We also had Laitse Rally Park bring their Car Collection cars. I think you guys might like these. PS: Black licence plate is Estonian Road Administration Classic car registry plate. The vehicle must be minimum of 95% factry original - down to nuts, bolts, screws, fabric in the interior and so on.

We have some RWD volvos now: 62 Amazon 87 740 "van" 92 940 - green one (with out the front panels) 91 940 - red one - lowered, bistein B6, hotter cam - cruised car And some FWD volvos now: 02 S80 D5 99 C70 T5 And some AWD volvos now: 04 XC90 D5 06 XC90 D5 + Miata 😄 Some days we think we have lost our minds.

quick testdrive for the ex-van/pickup to see if the body flexes. Solid as a rock. With out added materials no twisting even with hard corners. Damn they made these things strong.

Went to a small driving event on one of the local small islands (95m2). Was fun, Miata even can drive on forrest roads. Did scrape up some dirt with car floor but nothing bad. Didn't get stuck. managed the get a shot of miata and my friend who is the owner.

We are organizing a regularity event this year. Here is a clip of us driving the run for a roadbook. https://youtu.be/u-pZijYap5c
