The annoying orange.. volvo 440 :)
Hi,
For a start i must say, that english is NOT my native language, so sorry for mistakes i might make
Anyways, i have a Volvo 440glt, which is quite uncommon car for most people. Also some say, that it's not a real volvo, cause it's made in Netherlands.
Well.. everyone thinks what they want, so no judging anybody here.
But about the Volvo. It's made in year 1991, it's a hatchback, has a 1.7 litre engine and a frontwheel drive(sorry for that, i might even fix that in time
).
It's naturally aspirated.. but we'll see for how long it stays like that.
I've had the car for myself for about 2 years, before it was my mums.
The car looked like this about 2 years ago:
By now, it looks like this:
From the last pic is missing flanges for rims.. which are 30mm thick.
I have few pics.. not very good, but how it looks with the flanges:
So what's happened to the car within 2 years:
* vw vento/jetta dashboard
* bmw e34 fog lights
* modified hood and rear spoiler
* lips for bumpers
* rear lights of a facelift model
* new color(did it myself and has to be done again, cause i fucked up with that )
* bit lowered and has to be more (enough for this year i think, i need new tires to go lot lower)
What has to be done:
* re-do the bodywork
* repaint rims
* a bit strech tires (175/50/r15 desired)
* finish the interior with painting/covering the interior plastics and stuff
* lot lower
* etc.
I just have to say, that i'm a poor student and i can't do shit fast.. as i have 2 other cars to build up. But this is daily and i'll do my best to make it look nice.
But now just few pics about build.
It was this low before this years summer..
So that's how it looks. I will do some fresh pics next week i hope, or even sunday.
I also have to mention, that i live on Estonia and it's the ONLY orange 4. series volvo around here.. also i haven't seen any orange 400's in the whole internet too
Anyways.. lots of work done, lots ahead
