Welcome to my Volvo's Cardomain site, here you will see the progress of my Volvo 264.

It has the 5 spoke "virgo" alloys fitted with 195/60 R15 tyres on, the motor is the PRV (B28E) 2.8 litre V6 making around 155hp and 235nm of torque, I plan to change all the oil and replace it with Royal Purple, to flush the radiator, to replace the air filter with a K&N filter and to do a CAI off the bottom of the airbox, most likely running down closer to the front.

I will also remove the engine and detail the engine bay, clean up the motor, and general cleaning and perfecting, as well as panel beating the one damaged panel and welding up the rust (there isn't much). I'd love to fit some Five spoke rims in this style in 16's:

Took delivery of the car, it's a bit rough, needs trim reattached,the engine needs a tune and such, but it's in great condition for the cost of it, great paint etc.

Hey, VQ, Whats up man? I haven't been on Racerplanet on forever, Tell all the guys I said hello. Nice car, she looks mint. Contrats dude! Are you still persueing you career with diesels? Good Luclk with it man, its a profitable business. I got a job as a Motorhome Tech-thats shits complicated. Well, its not that hard, but it's different than working on Hondas,. thats for sure. Speakling of Hondas, I'm right in the middle of doing some engine work on mine, and My uncle said he'd get me some 17's for my graduation present. I'll be sure to take pics, maybe I'll be back on Racerplanet soon......
Take it easy man

Nice 264- I think I saw that for sale on ebay a while ago. If you're going to replace the wheels, you could give the old ones a good clean up and put them on ebay. They're called virgos and are pretty popular ( you prob. already know but I thought i'd mention it). Keep us posted with the improvements etc. Paint looks good and so does interior so looks like you've got a good base to work from.
