Define 'substance'...

I could say that the only people who didn't 'get' my beard were waxed-chest metrosexuals with a fear of masculinity...

Don't take it too seriously penski, it's all just opinion after all. Be glad that not everyone agree's with you, thats what's great about the motoring world!

If that doesn't put a smile on your face then just get a ratty volvo, do the modifications you want and then burn people at the lights instead, lol

Can anyone say "baaaammm...now dat tish is whack!" ?

penski · 14 Mar 2006 at 08:58

It certainly gives me an urge to hit the three-wheel motion.

No...That's the right hand C pillar

Wait - I just remembered that the gamma is FUBAR on this monitor.

*opens PSP*

*whacks gamma up*

Yes...yes that appears to be a dog...

lol, can i be the first to ask.... WTF?

penski · 14 Mar 2006 at 09:14

Possibly a commentary by whomever potatochopped it that Volvos usually have dogs in them?

Oooh...Just remembered another Ovlov...brb.

The Volvo as was. Notice huge wheel-arch gaps and the fact that you can actually through to the other side under the car!

Nick at work, busily getting that suspension apart. The chap in the background is not ******* against that garage door, he is just painting it.

Nicely arranged tools, complete with trolley jack and tyres to hold up the car. Safety first you understand.

Huge springs...

Much better length. Two and a half coils should do it.

The front is now at a sensible height. In this piccy, the back has been lowered about 3 inches, but has since gone down several inches more.

This picture was included because it's a great shot of the volvo, but also because the new top secret project is visibly poking out of the garage. Looks like a chopped volvo? Well that is just the back of it. The front end and chassis is somthing altogether different. Visit again soon for exclusive pictures of next years star ride

Four pumps, plenty of batteries and an unhealthy abundance of hydraulic fluid, this Volvo now moves rather quickly. This pic was taken shortly after fitting the rams up front.

It is worth noting here that within a week of this little lot falling into the boot, six points had been won for causing 'distraction to other road users' and 'driving a vehicle in unroadworthy condition'. How rude.

Unfortunately, the 3 litre straight six died a noisy and messy death. Picture shows Volvo awaiting that Rover 3.5 V8 sat backstage. The hydros move it so quickly with no engine though...

Now complete with the wires from Benz. The engine crossmember is resting on the floor, and it's still not low enough (apparently). V8 is in the process of being fitted as this is typed. Be warned, this guy owns a body shop and spray booth, so this little Volvo may get out of hand.

Still fancy an old Turboed Brick if the opportunity comes along, the Honda makes to much sense to sell at the moment.

Not a fan of rat look sleepy classics though, rat look sleepy proper bangers though, sheddy metros, novas etc are ace.

Likeing the low low as well they are so much fun going to shows and stuff but to much work to keep going for everyday. Had a ball going to RTTS last year in my friends Tina

Another rat look volvo deepsleeper in the making ?

Damn it! Posts like this make me angry! Once I've "finished" my mg I might be forced to by a 60's truck/van/car and fit a unfeasably large engine into it. For some reason I love the big bulgyness of old metal. Perhaps something with a crane on the back of it so I can tow people away when they aren't looking

Before I read this post I was content with my 70s metal..........grrr

I couldn't bear to see my mg looking cruddy though...I loves it just the way it is

Lopéz · 14 Mar 2006 at 23:03

I like the look myself. I passed a Singer Stiletto the other day in Leicester and that was all painted satin black. I immediately thought of penski and if I hadn't been desperately trying to keep the 205 running on 2 cylinders I'd have stopped for pics.

Got a couple of pics of accidental "rat" look cars in Poland last week too

Will post 'em up in a sec.
