It looks badass the way it is.

If you have moulds, you should produce a run of those body kits!

I like the current look. No 13" mini wheels with wrong ET-number and wheels poking 10cm out of the arches for this car please! :D

Current look is something which could have rolled out of a factory in the 80's, just perfect. :P

Agree completely with Fuse, that looks *so* period as it is, it'd be a shame to lower it and stick silly wheels on.

Hello and thanks for posts.

I dreamed 7-8x15 ET20 style BBS RS retro-wheels. And yes car is not going to todays building-trends, no "tires to arch, i can't drive this car" -style :D In my mind current lowering is just good. Maybe sometimes 10-20mm more, but
not anything more.

In now car is -40mm lowered, thats it 20mm more than factory GLT.

And ye i have moulds for "MM Style" bodykit. By the way, sideskirts are maded currently for steel.

Here is current project, playerpanel:

I fabricate final product stainless-steel or aluminum.

Sideskirts is easy made for steel. But same deal them get rust very easy, thats it the only bad thing. So sometimes in future i made them also glassfibre.
In pictures you can see old rear steel skirts. I removed them before installing todays spoiler. Also you can see old wider wheels, ET25

Love the look of this! The only thing I'd change is Id've kept the black bits in the front and rear bumper and fit the door side strips to break the silver up a bit. Other than that I love it and wider wheels with an ET of 25 sounds perfect :D

Hi mate.
Your inside door cards look in realy good condition so i would
save them and put the interior speakers where they origionally went in the foot well.
Great sound and you don't lose the look of the door. Just a thought.
Cheers Mark.

Hi. And thanks.

Yes i thinked also change bumpers trims to black. Maybe in winter when car is out of road. Also i do new soundsystem, new exhaust system, wash interior, cold air intake to eninge etc etc.. Maybe i replace stock exhaustheader to steel version and change head to better flow version, but that head and exhaustheader thing; maybe.

Interior and door insidepanels stay in factory look. I do new speacers to fit factory look.

Steelskirts is easier build what it looks.

Just now i doing some repair to my winter use car, 745 american turbo GLE. When that is ready for winter i take 360 out of road and more building for next summer are in program.

Hope you understand my writing sm6

This car does look superb. What colour is it? I have the feeling it may be the same as my GLT, light green metallic ...

Well done!

Cheers

Here is my US Model 745. It is normal facelift model with usa sidemarkers. But i have seen twin light version so i know what you mean. This car first home is in sunny and hot California.
Finnish guy buy that when he is are university in San Diego. Only year old volvo had to move to cold finland. In 21 years volvo gets two rusthole to floor in here cold, dark and salted finnish
roads. Now i have repaired these holes. I have that car now year. Car options is intresting; outside it is turbomodel and inside its GLE. In usualy outside is also GLE with chrometrims in allover.
Specs: 2.3L Turbo automatic, metalcolor, turbomodel trims in outside, full leather interior, foglights, electric windows, locks and radioantenna. Full gaugepanel, sunroof, a/c, cruise. And all
works fine. I have installed lowering springs, trunkwindow tints, BBS wheels and better soundsystem. All modifications are maded to easily return to stock. Because car comes to museumage
in seven years when driving is very cheap.
