Well this is my new toy that i got for a whole waping ZERO dollars. Yes, I know it was pricey but well worth the money when I am done with her. This is my new 1975 Volvo 242 DL. So the story behind the car and you are probably pretty curious if you just went straigh to the pictures... Well I have been in Laramie, WY for over six months now and i have seen this car for almost as long as i have been here. Now the reason i saw it so much is because it didnt go anywhere. It just sat in the parking lot of some apartments I pass everyday. Well it was the same primer grey color as it is now but i noticed that it went through some changes like it picked up some extra spraypainted words on the side and the window got busted out. So this is where I decided to intervean. I had an aquaintance that lived in the same apartments and so I asked him if he knew the oweners. He said yes and put me in contact with them. Like me they were a couple of young guys going to collage. Well to make it shorter, they were moving out and didnt want to push it or tow it to thier new place to i said ill take it off your hands and that was that BOOM, new free toy for me. So i went and got it that night, thursday night 8/3/06. And now its mine to play with. So again if you didnt get the part about the words and the symbols on there, I didnt do it, thats how it came.

Is that a B20F engine like mine? If so you have the head sitting on it backwards in the pictures. Did you get it running yet?
