Where are some good sites to learn about old brick Volvos? Im already thinking about my after graduation finally got a job and can afford a "project car." The old bricks have a lot of potential, dont they?

I know of turbobricks, but fill me in on some other worth while ones.






I totally missed your post -

The lights ARE factory - they came on the 1st series of 200 and the last of the 100. They then went to quad rounds, then quad squares, then single huge plastic squares around 87 ish. The back end isnt actually very large at all - maybe the pics make it look like it - also the car is raked somewhat which may add to the look.

Turbobricks is really the place to be as far as hopping up your old brick - but brickboard.com and volvospeed.com are also semi-valuable boards. Birckboard is for dudes who want to make and keep their cars totally stock and running well (hey - maybe I should visit there more often . . .) and volvospeed is for mostly FWD guys - 850,s70 etc etc.

Turbobricks is an invaluable resource for info however, because for 95% of your issues - someone has already been there and done that - yet at the same time you can still be your own person and make a car that is unique to you.
