After a slight mishap, I've had to repair some of the front end
Front coil springs I've had to replace (Volvo V70 Phase II wagon rear springs, with 1.5 coils removed), pull the subframe straight, replace the alloys (front 2 got destroyed
) and I am now waiting on delivery of a new steering rack for it.
Bit of an update on the work though. I now have a bit of rake, but the rear tyres are smaller than the fronts so it's kinda deceptive at the moment, but I'll chuck a couple more spring assists in there and get the rear end up more, unless I can get some standard rear springs.
The new sub enclosure being built:
It will be padded on the top before being carpeted so I can use it as a bed, as demonstrated by my mate Mark here:
The new wheels are because of needing something as the front 2 of the old alloys got destroyed, but these new ones aren't perfect but they're doing me for now, till I can either make them perfect, or get some that are
Had to trim it down a bit on the top and corners of the front plate to get it all to fit nicely in there. My measurements were perfect, but I hadn't realized that the pillars at the front and rear of the trunk narrowed so much but it's all grand now.
I have also had a crazy idea that I'd toyed about with in my mind, and couple of guys on Street Commodores kinda got it in the forefront of my mind again - the idea of vanning it out!!
