Hi folk, sorry for my bed English, but
I'm from Bulgaria and I'm proud owner of Volvo 360 and Volvo 144 B20 68y.
I have just finished an crazy idea to expand boring steel wheel from 5.5J to 8 j.
You can see the final product from the pic.
I haven't desided yet wheather to keep original or to convert it into hot rod car.
So I'm glad to meet you and obviously I will have a miriad questions.
I will attach more pic soon.
Best regards
Mr Dungarov K. male 37y.

I'm liking that! Are you keeping the patina? (Aged look)

I wish my 280 estate was a 185 wagon secretly!

I didn't typo there its a V8!

Welcome! Nice car. If you do want to make it look more 'hot rod' the 140 looks good with the front bumper removed

P.S. I've been to Bulgaria, it was beautiful!

without front bumper it's a disaster, believe me.

A description of your induction system would be interesting. Looks like LPG with a remote throttle body, or something like that. Has it run, is it proven?
