my 505.
first car, was in the family since new.
I loved since i was little, but really got into it a few years ago.
It's been my project w. my dad, worked on it a lot in the past couple years.
Just that now, its reaching a point where all hell is breaking loose.
I mean, I know, a car with this age is bound to have problems, most of which I can work on myself, but its just getting to point where it's really stupid to d.d it. I've been taking it to school, and rowing practice, been holding up okay, but its left me stranded a few times.
So what do you guys think?
Its kinda of a love-hate thing. I always loved the design of it, (yeah, let the flaming begin), of the front end, not so much the rear.
My dream was to do a FULL resto, and swap in a turbo+ic N9TE engine from a later model, but it just seems insane, with how much labor it requires, and parts which are scarce as ****.
Maybe when I'm outta college (i'm still a junior in hs), me and my dad will fix it up. But right now, i'm mostly sharing a 'eurospec' Volvo 245 (lightly modded) with my dad, who totalled his bimmer a while ago...yes, yes, i'm pretty into volvo's, i'm on turbobricks and volvospeed (big poster)
Me and my friends have thrashed this car pretty hard, places like grizzly peak, etc, etc...But i try to maintain it as well as possible.
But for now, here are some pics...enjoy (or not).
