I've been lurking long enough and I suppose it's time to start a project thread. I really enjoy looking at y'alls good work - let me see if I can give back a bit.
First, a bit about me. I started with VW's (got tired of the community) then MG's (too small!), then did a 65 Comet (too big!)... and then got into Volvo's. After a year working on a 2-door 65, I finally found a great project wagon.
As delivered to NorCal:
Wagon-specific bits seem complete, although the tailgate is a bit suspect at the bottom lip. I suspect fiberglass fairies.
Variations on a Volvo theme. With the 2015 s60 and the 65 122.
In for surgery. And an engine. And at least a year . At least.
The plan is to build up a B20 with Megasquirt (thanks members who have helped me out with parts and advice already). The closer engine here is a B20 I have that has an FI head that I am planning to rebuild. The engine on the run stand behind is a B18 for parts.
The tunnel has been replaced with (I think?) a M41 tunnel, so the 2 M40's I have laying around and the M40 w/OD I put on the 65 are not helpful. If anyone has a lead in northern Cali for a M41 I am interested. Especially so if w/OD.
Thanks for reading! I'll see if I can keep this thread updated with progress. There's a lot of good knowledge here.
