Default Short video of my Volvo project

Decided to throw enough stuff together to make my little project come to life for a few minutes today. I got the stock exhaust system hooked up, it's still loud as hell. Also, the camera doesn't really pick up the exhaust note, it actually pretty much slaughters the exhaust note and makes it sound like a freakin' Honda. I swear it sounds better in person..

Probably ~2 months. I finally ordered the Koni DA race strut inserts from Summit, but they are on backorder so won't be here for another 10 days or so. Once I get those I need to shorten my stock strut tubes and have the insides of them threaded at the top for the gland nut. The whole front suspension is off, replacing all the bushings with poly and new balljoints etc. Going to powdercoat the struts and box and powdercoat the control arms before they go back on.
