More about project

This is my 2nd project ATM its a 19079 Volvo 242gt fitted with a holden 253 V8 and supra 5 speed. only 600 242gt where sold in Australai making them a rearish car. I am planing to use as my weekend car / towcar as i wanted something a bit difftent and I have always loved them since seeing John bowes 240T turbo compete in the ATCC in the 80s. The last photo is where i would like the car to be in a few months !
