Yeah, so this is my "build" nothing big just giving my dear volvo some freshness, oh yeah, the title says dutch, not swedish. Well if you don´t know why you should not probably care.
So i am going to let the picture speak in this thread, i will update this whenever i make some bigger changes.
Oh yeah in case I forgot to tell you, it's a volvo s40 -97 1,8l
I bought it of a dealership that got it from the original owner and with barely any rust on it (except for the über rusted hood) and with only 150000km on the meter it was a good deal.
So this is the car as I bought it:
Kinda lame, but you got to love the sun-bleached "black" trims.
Yeah so I did this. Yes, yes I am a cool kid.
And as you might notice in the thread this is infact a low budget build
And so within about two months having my license I bought some used borbets for it.
Borbet E 16x7,5, and the new cheap tires 205/45
Cut the front springs so it wouldn't look hideous and after driving it with happiness for a week the winter rushed upon us here in Finland and the first snow fell. I got a bit depressed because that meant the borbets needed to go.
So here is a pic before the snow fell, its a bit dirty because it was fall and a bit muddy.
And one from the day I got depressed:
Well the least I could do before taking away the goodness was giving it a good bath and snap some pictures.
And then it was time to "update" to wintermode:
Dat fitment
Let me tell you a secret (it is snow) and don't mind the minty hubcaps
Some stickers:
And as spring showed itself around the corner i ordered some coilovers from fk
And as i dropped it down this is how it sits in the rear:
And in the front it is pretty high still, as before, don't have any pics thought.
I'm not rushing in to slamming it becouse of the rough terrain right now and that the winter wheels still are on, but within the week I will put the borbets on and slamm it properly! Until that have a sunny picture
Please tell me what you think and share some ideas and stay tuned if you're interested!
