1975 Volvo 242 Deluxe

Updated: 09 Dec 2024

It’s a 1975 Volvo 242 deluxe that i bought back in 2014 that i found beside a dumpster with a rugged paint and rusted steel wheels, i fell in love with it instantly and contacted the owner and gladly he was in need of money so i was allowed to buy it.
I’ve been working on the car whenever there’s time beside studies and i’ve come pretty far but there’s a big step ahead, m60b40 swap with a six speed M5 transmission.

The car still has the original B20 pushrod engine and a 4-speed m40 transmission. The pace is slow at the moment beacuse i got accepted at highschool and is now sadly living 480km from the garage where i’m storing it. But this summer it will get a full coilover suspension and a steering angle kit, along with a BMW m60b40 v8 engine, the transmission and engine has been bought, it will be street legal and registered with all the mods.

How did you lowered it? Awesome looking Volvo :) And where did you get the Mk18’s?

Thanks! :)
When the picture was taken it was on chopped lowering springs, but it’ll be on coilovers this weekend :)
I got the rims online from a site called realcar.se :)
