New to forum (volvo pics to come)

[Euro sbd]

Hi guys

My first post here on v3m, my name is craig western and i live in kent. I have been involved in the drift scence for a few years now and most people may know me for owning precisiondriftclothing (now sold) and my current company ill-repute. i have been skidding jap cars and have only just bought my 1st ever volvo. A buddy of mine (sid) has skidded volvos for many years and talking to him has spured me on to try one out

I have just purchased a mint 21,000 miles from new volvo 340 1984 red, in the process of drop linking the rear, gaz coilovers all round, tons of stripping, clio cup engine, fully caged and should hopefully be a great build once completed. All work being completed by nev at drift moto

Just really to say hi and look forward to posting the progress pics on here as i go

Cheers craig western

Ello bud, and welcome! Sounds like a nice build. '84 is the same year as mine, great year! Get some pics up sharpish. Had a few PDC stickers on my car awhile back, good stuff!

It's great to see people like Nev putting a lot of effort into these things. I've chatted to him briefly about making a strut brace for mine once the coilovers are done, need to chat to him about a fibreglass bonnet too, and remind him of said strut brace.

Welcome once again, there are a few of us drifters on here now.

I will get some pics up asap, in the mean time if you search Ill-repute on facebook or add craig western as friend you will see my ill-repute page there and there are a few pics of it.

Only picked it up saturday so the. Work starts here

Be interested to see another Clio Cup'd one. We keep sizing up my housemates F4R in his 182 cup, but he seems attached to it where it is

Hi bud, welcome! Sounds like you know what you're doing so I look forward to pics.

Btw, take some pics.

Hi mate and welcome.
There was a time i would have said, holy shit,don't do that to an 84 car. However, since becoming an Old Fart last year
i have mellowed . Realy looking forward to seeing the finished car
Cheers Mark.

Sounds like a big awesome project dude. Exiting.
What are you doing about the drivetrain?

[SteveP]

Red 340? If so looked nice! Big worries over drivetrain issues. Definitely look into that and engine/box mountings.

[Nimminz]

welcome mate, sounds a rather canny project!
