Default New Volvo 240 guy

Hi there I have just recently got the bug for the bricks. I enjoy watching Swedish rally on YouTube. I figure racing anything at the track would be pretty expensive so I thought a rally car would be a little easier choice. Are almost 65 years old I think it would be fun to play with car control on gravel roads and can't think of a safe way to do that with with a good old brick so I picked up an 86 244 for under $700 that runs well but had clear coat issues so I got ambitious and repainted the hood roof and trunk myself which was a major task I had never Endeavor to do before. The past neighbor of mine who got tired of added maintenance cost to keep her 240 going offered to give me hers for free. I paid her a dollar so that the paperwork would fly but she gave me her 79 242. Both cars are sticks and I don't think I would want it any other way.

Always nice to get a free car

It is very stock

The 86 now looks so nice maybe I should just use the green one for gravel roads

I had lots of fun doing this but too busy with many other things it's 9 months later now and I still haven't rubbed it out

I'm in love with the color of the 244 and the Harley sticker makes it even better. Both are awesome!!
