Volvobrage's widened 242

Decided not to use a wattlink on the car. So sold the rear Axel lid and cutted away the Mount under the car.

This is how much I got blasted/grinded/primed before the blaster started messing around. And I runned out of time, had to take the car out from the farmhouse.

The story continues. I called a guy that blasted parts for us at my old work. I knew he did awesome work so I had no problems leaving the car With him.
Got it up in the rotaisse at his workshop.
dbtgallery.php


Two days after he called and the car was finished!! He did absolutely awesome work! Blasted everything except the roof. Inisde the rear fenders, etc. Since he sprayed it With high pressure and Paint without thinner I had to go over every small Place With a brush. He didnt want to do it since it was boring and since it took alot of time I saved alot of Money on doing it myself.

Why did you decide not to use the Watt's linkage?

Because the rules here in Norway for getting the car road legal is very strickt. The wattlink was the only thing in my Application I didnt get an excat answer for. And it would never be 100% optimal without altering the original Panhard Mount.

I have had that exact same vision for the 4" intake pipe into the inner fender!

Think it will work out good! Will Connect a hose there and collect air from the intake in the front lip.

Just two holes now, but remember that I have welded many meters on the car before blasting:grrr::-P

Thanks for the Nice comment! Have some more pics before Im up to date, will try to post them in the near future.
 
Would it be an annual check for legality? The advantage of a Watts link is that it's easily removable, right? The panhard will probably be fine, but I noticed a lot more stability adding one (compared to nothing at all that is, on a still rubber bushing mounted axle).
 
Wicked progress man. Looks great! I dig the drain mod. Really makes you think about how weird the factory way is.

No its every two years:) Everything else will be New under the car so Im guessing the Panhard rod will be good enough. Time will show:)

Thanks alot for the Nice comment!:) Yes indeed, have no idea why they decided to put the draining inside the body:-P Had some thoughts about water coming up from the Wheel when Im driving, but I decided it will probably not be a problem.
