Default Volvo 460 T5 AWD!

EDIT! Sorry, I forgot I already started a thread on my build, maybe an Admin can join them together?

Can't decide if this belong in 400 or 800 categories?

Yes I did it, well not finished yet but soon. So Eric is my name and live in Sweden, home of Volvo. I wanted in my old days to build myself a toy to play with like Block and Pastrana dos. So this build is not going to be a daily driver, but it will be road legal with inspection, insurance and all that stuff. I hate trailer queens.

So I junked a 1997 Volvo 855 AWD, LPT engine and 5-spd, it was to rusted to save. Some how I managed to attached the 850 awd whole drive line to my small 460. Lots of work left, but I got almost halfway.

If you like you can follow the build here:

Cheers from Sweden ;-)

Finished up upper torque mount on the 460, I'm happy with it and I think it's going to hold.

Video on how I did it is coming on my YT channel Swedes Garage. Subscribe and you wont miss any episodes ;-)

Custom made strut bar finished, thought of adding a second tube between the towers but I'm not sure yet.
