[fcastle]

[RavinJetta]

So am I. Let see some pics.

[Doug242ti]

Well I guess some of you are up as early as me ;-)

Pictures should be up when I get it. Its my xmas present to theresa (and to myself LOL)

ok hint, this is what a stock one looks like (and much nicer than mine is currently) (http://www.volvonet.org/tpc/vall2003/images/vallakra2003_153.JPG)

Here is the thread (sans car since I've been trying to keep it quiet till xmas)

Midly built T5 motor, 2871R, 700r4 trans (theresa wants an auto). Going to have AC in it, powersteering (hopefully), S60R brakes all around. Its the new company show/project car so its going to have to be nice ;-)

RWD and 2300 lbs and about 350-390whp should make life more than interesting.

SWEET!!!! T will be a very happy. :)

Just save the stock crap (like I'm sure you're prolly going to be dumping the Salisbury rear end) ... I could prolly use it. That is, unless you can get some real money for the old stuff ... then sell it to others instead.

For the power steering, perhaps the steering box off a '73/74 144?

-- Kane ... either that or source it from a small Ford/GM or something.

I was thinking about that. I have a 240T power rack and tierods laying around. If the balljoints will fit then I think I will use that. If I have to get custom on the ball joints (or steering rack) I'll just do a pinto conversion and use a universal steering column.

Wow, that looks like a fun project! Theresa is a lucky lady. Merry Christmas :tup:

The correct gas cap, rear reflectors, bumper pads, the tow bar, and a window sill that's not covered in rust stains. You got a good one. :tup:

-- Kane ... naturally, those are the faults with mine's. ;)

LOL thanks Kane!! If it wasn't for the horrid yellow (and I mean the pictures make it look 10000x nicer than it is) paint, I think it would have cost me easily another 1k.

that thing gives me wood like no other. Theresa sounds like a coffee percolator (someone will get this) when she sees it!
