    Getting Closer to Complete (3.8l V6 Volvo)

    OK , here's the scoop on whats transpired since I last posted:

    Engine in, plumbed, wired.

    Shifter hooked up, changed tunnel to accomodate shifter.
    http://www.ghostwheeltech.net/gwtfi/volvo/38-244-10.jpg

    1998 Catera leather seats with power recline, heat installed on Volvo rails.

    1980 Volvo Bertone Coupé spoiler and swaybars installed.

    Very quick. Even without tuning, I can spin the tires all the way thru first and second, and bang the rev limiter in 3rd.. w00t w00t

    Cavitated the intank pump tho I think.. its whining pretty bad.

                      Damn, thanks guys. I realize it doesn't carry a Firebird or Camaro skin.. but its heart beats GM. And its a big plus that you guys think its cool. A lot of the Volvo guys are kinda 'ho hum' over it.
