We'll it's took me a few days here and there but I've just read the entire thread. And now I'm having visions of this 'Volvano' 😉 showing Porsche GT3's up at the nurburgring. You have a gift young sir and if your ever looking for an apprentice to teach the dark side for the force to, give us a call. Seriously though have you done anything remotely this extensive before? What's the future plans for this? I've always tinkered with cars, the usual engine swaps, turbos, superchargers, but this is the first twin engine car I've done, as for the future, just have a bit of fun with it  |

that is absolutely unexpected and very impressive. Love the access to the motor, the look of the whole break away hood/fender(wing) combo, ect....very Binkiesque!
keep at it, glad you are recovering.
stripes look nice.
I also like the process oriented approach to the build...sure you have a goal in mind, but seem to be enjoying the journey!

Will you be MOTing it or do you think there is no chance to get it through due to the structural changes to the front end?

Is there going to be any of it left that Volvo can claim as their work? There's almost nothing left that you haven't improved/altered beyond recognition somehow

Just curious, is there a reason you've stopped painting at the rear quarter? Super secret future mods?
