Default Volvo 760 D24Tic Estate - UK

Thought I'd finally put a post up of my car now the forum is back!

It's a UK 1990 760 TD (facelift model).

Spec from factory is:

- Facelift front end
- ZF22HP4 4 speed auto box
- Intercooler
- Electric sunroof
- Electric Climate Control & Aircon
- Tan Leather seats
- Electric drivers seat
- Nivomat rear shocks
- 3.73 non-locking solid axle

Here's some pics when I got it:








Since I bought it I've made a few improvements:

Engine:

- Headgasket went, so fitted an Ajusa MLS 2 notch gasket and new bolts (still TTY bolts)
- Timing belt/water pump/idler all replaced
- IP timing set to 0.98mm
- Injectors rebuilt with Monark 293 nozzles
- MBC fitted and adjusted to 16psi
- New cold start waxstat
- Ground off collar and screwed main screw in a few turns
- Reground the fuel pin
- N/A inlet manifold
- Rear silencer removed

Suspension:

- Spax rear 40mm lower springs
- Front diesel springs chopped to 40mm lower
- Bilstein TC shocks all round (getting rid of failed Nivos)
- Swapped front 21mm anti roll bar for 22mm
- Added rear 19mm anti roll bar
- H&R 25mm DRM spacers
- 17x7" Volvo Titan wheels
- Front 215/45/17 Hankook V12; Rear 225/45/17 Goodyear Eagle;
- Poly saucer bushes
- Poly bushes on rear of track control arms (where they mount to rear part of inner wheel arch)


Here's a few pics of how it looks now, hopefully I'll get some better ones up at some point:
