I cut the wing-lets out for my C70's rear wing out of some Lexan and they turned out really good. Then I put some thin foam on the inside of my door panels After checking the window tinting laws in I found my tint isn't legal, the tint is light "35%" put I am going to have to pull the tint so...

Yesterday I cemented the shingles to the thin foam pad on the drivers side. The roofing sealer / adhesive that I purchased in place of the roofing cement said it was brush-able but it was still pretty thick. I used the sealer to seal the top layer of thin foam pad to the shingles I laid down...

Their was light raining yesterday so I couldn't work on my C70, instead I walked to Home Depot to purchased another can of roofing cement. The Home depot that I went to had a wider selection of roofing type cements and sealers so I purchased a can that said it was a brush-able adhesive &amp...

Today I laid a layer of thin foam down on the floor pan under where the passenger seat goes, the rear foot well area and where the rear seat mounts. Then I used the roofing cemented to bond some roofing shingles "that I had already cut" for the areas to the foam. I sealed the edges of the...

Yeah I am totally into this build and I've been taking pics with my phone but I need a new memory card before I can transfer the pics. They cost like $22 at Target or $6 at the big computer store across town, but I won't be able to get their for another week. When I removed the top of my rear...

After I removed my C70's seats & carpet, I shampooed the carpets and then scotch guarded them next day. While I was looking at the floor pan / uni-body of my C70 I noticed their where sheet steel hollow chambers built into the uni-body. I thought those look like they could be sound boxes...

I tested my roofing cement test pieces yesterday and today to check the cure time of the cement & the strength of the cement. I tried to slowly pull the different pieces apart and it seamed to have a adhesion strength { the amount of force it took to pull them apart } of about 10 or 12...

Well today I set everything up to test the roofing cement & took lots of pictures. When I opened the can of roofing cement it was black & shinny and the texture looked dense. It looked to have maybe three different sizes of matter, a bonding paste and two or maybe three larger textures...

I used up 22 or 23 feet of blue tint trying 6 times to tint the drives side window and I had a crease I couldn't get out each time, so while I wait for another roll of tint I am preparing to work with these shingles, roofing cement and foam matt so that I can start sound damping my C70. The...

I pulled the door panels on my C70 so that I could get an idea for how to sound dampen / deaden the doors and I found a phew parts that were bolted tougher and making metal on metal contact { of witch could vibrate} and the plastic honey comb - crash crumble zone plastics inserts were a bit...

I worked on the wiring for my transmission swap today "with no wiring diagram" and I think i have narrowed down the wires that trip a relay for the reverse lights & brake lights, so tomorrow I need to track down that relay - I can hear it clicking under the dash, then I need to run some...

As for the motor in the Mustang " I think" it has 320 to 330HP its never been on a dyno for fine tuning, the mustang weighs about 2700lbs. the power is being sent thru a upgraded but still stock type T5 manual trans. The trans bolts to the bell housing with four bolts and its broken those 4...

Once my C70 is lowered and I swap out the front bumper for the more square & aggressively styled Volvo XC V70 front bumper it will really change the whole look of the car. The XC V70 is kind of like a awd light duty SUV wagon, so the front bumper looks roughed. If I would have painted the...

Well as for the C70's gauges, the ones on my C70 are basic and the water temp gauge has no numbers. The turbocharged 5 cylinder engine in my Volvo can make 300hp reliably with the right mods. My C70 is a 190HP low pressure turbo & the high pressure model makes like 235 ish HP. So with some...

Its been to cold for me to work on my C70 aside from bring in one of my headlights & marker lights to wrap them with blue transparent vinyl. After giving the a/c vent opening in the dash some more thought I think I am going to pass on installing a big tweet and 2 3inch mini subs. Three...
