:-D

what do you guys think??
 
Wow, the springs lowered it quite substantially. I didn't think iPd springs did much any more. Talk about a whole ton of stuff to do. Your stuff is way funner than mine. I've just got a pile of bodywork. You've got some serious high-ticket items there. Wanna help me do my rear springs some time, and also, later, a panhard? also, I say pull in the -ve camber more, seeing as you can (jerk), if those are installed yet?

Serious jealousy. That hood would (almost) make my car all one colour again.
 
Sweet, IPD sold strut towers!!! When did they stop selling them! I could seriously use a couple sets of those!

Nice progress on the car!

yeah i will be more than happy to help you with the springs as long as the bolts are not too rusty should take less than a hour, and i dont have the chamber plates on yet i did not have spring compressors at the time so they are still on the shelf.... what you see there was achieved with stock parts:-D will just have to wait untill i get back on friday, i'm back in uxbridge now till then

Hey, my old red flathood! I gave this and another one from a GT to a guy in Orleans about 10 years ago. He put the GT hood on a blue 244 that I believe Amerbritcan now owns. The hood from the car though sits on a buddy's 84 244T and is covered with carbon fiber stuff. But I never knew what became of the red one. It's from a 1975 245 by the way. If only I knew then what would be popular today, I wouldn't have given them away. Hell, I've thrown out enough R-sport guage clusters and other rare parts to make a Volvo junkie cry. That's what happens when you try to sell stuff and cheap people try to lowball.
Congrats on the purchase of your wagon. It looks pretty solid. I'm sure I'll see it around as I'm only 5 minutes from Almonte and I shop there all the time.

BTW, if you want exact colour matching paint, get the real stuff from Metro Paint Supply on Lapperiere. 20 bucks will buy you a can that will cover all the spots on your car. Just bring them your colour code.
