Volvo 745 -91, lifted, B234+MS and back again. Now b230FK and M90 with LH2.4
IDK.
Volvo stuff I guess, giving something back to the forums. No matter if it's appreciated or not.
Please note this is from the last 2 years since I got the car. It's not really my primary project right now.
But it's alive, which is more then I can say for the other stuff I got going on.
2022-me: Lot of pictures missing, will try to fix.
Lifting
2018 April
Got some thick tires (27" I think) after seeing someone on here lifting a 240.
Then I got the car to go along with the "lift"-project, 1991 Volvo 745.
No frills at all. B230 with Regina och a M47.
A modest beginning that would soon bloom into, eeeh, feeling content?
I changed oils and filters before all this, promise.
Comparing the wheels, there will be some minor issues.
Can kind of turn the front wheels at this point, and they rub (alot) against the spring perch which I solved at the time with a sledge.

I extended the front tubes, legs, what do you call them, by 5 cm. Still using the standard shocks so I put a piece of tube inside for the shock to rest on. I didn't take any picture of it but I also did the chambermod to compensate the longer tubes.
2022-me: looks like I have pictures? and the tubes are extended 2.5 cm, not 5. Maybe I added it up in my head?
For the rear I used hockey pucks pressed into 3" tubes to get around 5 cm.
Since shock and spring are by themselves in the rear, and still using standard length shocks, I needed to also compensate the mountingpoint for the shock to keep at least the standard travel length of the suspension.
Rear resulted in this:
And overall, with 5 cm lift on 27" wheels:
I tried out some stuff, more exciting tests where not recorded, but the trauma never fades.
This is kind of a nice picture, with the flowers and stuff:

It's not much, but it's better then before

Enjoyed the outdoors after this for a bit. I got a lot more confident once I got the locker in the rear, but that's later.

EDIT:
Found more pictures from this part.
Got spacers in steel to fix the turningproblem.

And after scraping the pan during some of my small adventures I made a guard och sorts, the aim was to be able to rest the car on it.
