My New Volvo 740

This one is my garage queen. Had a lot of money spent on it by previous owners and pretty quick for a late 80s car.

Just need to find some decent wheels and then potentially bring the rear up as it’s borderline reverse rake.

Some pics;

Looks tidy.

Have you got this to go alongside the not quite as old Volvo you bought the other week?

What’s been done to this one? I spy a boost gauge in the air vent...

This is the best one you've had in my opinion! Can you go and measure it or stick a car next to it for comparison
It looks huge!

Well this is out of character for you Jim. You've bought a car in great condition with a list of awesome mods already applied. Wtf is wrong with you?






Is it for sale yet? 😂

Picked up some new wheels for the 740.

Massive offset issues but I think with some 6ft spacers it could look ok.

Did someone mount the disc on the wrong side of the wheel?

But in all seriousness it's a very well kept looking car for a G reg

25mm spacers arrived. I could have probably gone 30mm but I don’t want to have to ‘modify’ the arches.

I’m not 100% on the wheels but once my front spacers arrive (from Latvia) I’ll be able to have a look and decide what I want to do.
