I don't know any which would be in english. In Sweden there are some, very good is Bilsport, it features lot of Volvos. :P They once had a project 760 turbo in that magazine, goal was to get it go fast with a tight budget. In the end it went 11s in 1/4. :P

In street machine and custom car mags there has been quite a few volvo's mostly chopped amazons and 740 low riders.

A Volvo mag would be great but I cant see it selling here is the uk :cry:

I know there are some articles on some amazons including rainbow chaser and I also remember an article on a verly early Volvo taxi very nicely rodded/custom.
There was also a small feature on two 140' a saloon and estate with heavy roof chops side chop and 850 front ends!

It will give me something to do during the long winter nights :D

Here's the only time a 300 featured in a German car mag since 1985 ...

No mods, few pics and all in German, but I'm sure you'll all agree with the title :-) 300>Golf ...

Anyone know about the white 360, custom kit? Lots of pictures of it 5ish years ago, and I know it had a magazine feature. Might still have a scan on the old computer!
