Volvo 480 Club Europe

I received Hausser lowering springs today, thank you Robbie!

To my surprise they were manufactured by Eibach! Seems they made lowering springs for 480 after all. Not available on aftermarket though

Had 5 packs of Vibroplast dampening sheets that I threw in the trunk. Literally.





Fitted the rollerblind that my wife (and I) made:

The stripes added, thanks to fellow 480 enthusiast for the stripes

Yesterday I fitted the Hausser springs and the Koni yellows.

The previous spring set was Lesjöfors with Bilstein shocks. Here are the final results


Before



And after.

Unfortunately the head gasket blew from the original engine. Now the hunt is on for a B18FT which the car truly deserves.

It is still alive. It even started.

Wahed it today.

hello, i know this is an old thred but i was just wondering what car the bumpers were from?

I think it has the Haas bodykit, see:

thanks Captain Slow, I think its slightly different, the rear is different for sure, i really like the design of it and am seriously thinking about trying to source one, but have no idea what body kit it is

After looking at all the body kits on that page Captin slow, i think its the The original Volvo Bodykit?

Yes, this is one of the original Volvo bodykits. Volvo didn't manufacture too many of them. The kit also includes small wheel arches but I didn't install them.

Thank you DaKyy, do you know where I could get my hands on one? it looks brilliant by the way

Thanks PM'd you about this already, but these are very rare.

This project is still ongoing, the B18E had to go and FT is coming along nicely... With a bigger turbo, Vader heritage...
