Skyblue Volvo 244 from 83

[Ollu]

Hi everyone!

Id like to share my ride with u.


I bought it a year ago in september. It had been standing under the tree for about 5 years. And when it arrived to my garage it looked like this.



I worked on it and first time i managed to drive it legally was about month after bought.



Then was winter, i didnt do anything but driving with it. But in march, some updates and it looked like that. And basically all summer there wasnt any updates.







One small update there were. Engine change. I changed B23A to B230FD.



Some pictures from interior. I didint like the idea to tint back windows, so i decided for curtains.






Trunk is not finished yet.



And in this september i got my new rims. Front are 8 inched wide and have 195/45/r16 tyres and rear are 10 inces wide and have 205/50/r16 tyres.













Then i decided to lower it a bit and cut springs in front.









And now im driving like this for a while.



But i think im gonna put roofrack back soon.

Sorry for my cheesy english and for those few crappy pictures.

Väga kena pill! Kus kandis elad?
How's the ride with the cut springs? Was it worth it, I'm thinking about that too.
Cheers!

Well its not bad, its quite stiff and she has better handling now. In my opinion its worth it. Better handling + much better look. Im thinking about cuting rear spring too. But i have to make panhard bar adjustable first.

Okay, finally lowered rear.

Little teaser

And winter wheels are going to be these with same hubcups. They are 15x9 and tyres are going to be 195/55

I read "skyblue" and thought this was going to look like crap. But you have definitely changed my mind. I like what you have done with it. Do you have any more side shots of how it sits now?

[Ollu]

Not at the moment. Waiting when photographer finishes with pictures, but



I found some, but better pictures soon.

I dig it. Looks a lot better without the rack and stuff. It was just too busy.

I like threads like this. When cars reflect their owners and have lots of character. good shit.

The whole time while scrolling through the pictures I was saying, "Remove the rack.... remove the rack..... remove the rack..."
And then you did, and I fell in love.
