Mine are 7" x 17". Check out http://www.northhantstyres.com/main%...Thrust%202.htm as they sell them... NOT CHEEP mind you!

I'd like to echo the good wishes of others. That is one tasteful conversion; I've always thought that the Amazon is particularly suited to lowering ( visually ) and yours proves it! If you were able to hold out a few months might I suggest that you get in touch with a magazine like 'Modified Motors' and get them to do a feature?

If you could get it into something like that ( with a footnote that it's for sale ) it might help to reach the people who are really interested, and help get you the kind of price you want. Just a thought, it's certainly magazine quality and so are the pictures. Hope I'm not interfering, just something that came to mind.

Best of luck,

Tony

That's a damn good idea, I like that. Retro Cars may well be interested as well, they've featured an overbored 240 GLT saloon before now and a 144 that races in California.

Thanks for the info on the wheels

cheers

James, if you're intending to put Torq Thrusts on a 164, they will probably have to be special order, since AFAIK, they're not available in that stud pattern

foggyjames · Sep 13th, 2009, 10:58

That's quite a good point...the ones my mate had for his 142 were bolted to a Ford 9" rear axle...oops!

cheers

I think you can get Revolution classic 5 spokes in the Volvo 164 pattern up to 15 inch. Similar but (IMHO) even nicer.

Hello, new member here but could anyone tell me what roof rack is on this Amazon? I have seen pictures of it around the net and love the rack and cant find any info on it. Thanks

Ok after a lot of soul searching, number crunching, scrimping and saving I have decided that I am going to keep her and get her finished…
