Great! I remember your car from when I found it at Garaget.org many years ago and started to think about your car again today and I'm happy you still own it. I would like to invite you to Vallåkraträffen in Sweden the summer 2016. :) It would be so nice if you could be there with your great 242R. :)
Thanx man heart warming words. :) We, me and my 242, have been long trip together but every road has the end. I sold this beaty finally to Jussi Nikanto who is also car builder and like to take this car in carshows. Volvo is good home now, i'm 100% sure of that! I send your invite to Jussi and i'm pretty sure that Jussi is comming Vallåkra next summer! ;)
I'm so glad to hear that he hopefully will show up. :) I'm a member of the crew who are judging the cars and I spoke to Per Östman (who founded the whole meeting) about my idea to invite some special cars to the next years meeting and he gave me the responsibility to do so. And then one of the first cars I thought of was this one - this car just has to be there! :) I would be so glad to speak a little with the owner and many other visitors would be glad to see the car there as well. I'm glad that you forward this message and my invite to Jussi. Thanks for your great work with your car, my friend!
Little upgrade in engine! H-profile connecting rods and Cometic metal head gasket. Also little upgrade is comming in turbo and camshaft so more power we hope. :)
Car look's like the same and it's not in use right now. Engine has little bearing problem but will be fixt soon. I dont know the price... offer something?! ;) It's over 10 000e and under 20 000e. ;D
Im no big fan of Volvos but DAMN this is a nice touch with the R-emblems on the sporty seats with the old-school headrests =) Very nice car all in all =)
More is comming, i believe it! Next summer we replace camshaft and adjustable cam gear so we can rise boost to 1,6bar and rpm to 7800! Then it start talking!! ;D
Easy styling, but really nice, laserblue is a really nice color!!!!! Ps. i think i am in love whit your old 242, that is a real buitty <--- dont know how to speel it! :-)
