[@longautomotive]

[@caleeks4217]

[@barrets6226]

I wish I could find a 242.. never seen one in person.

[@gearwhine787B]

[@skittou]

This car is beautiful ! 😍

[@yrexboyfriend]

absolute beaut!

[@GunnersCarHole]

love the wheels!

[@vozhdmeister5256]

KL racing inside 🙂 Among most expensive shipping fees over there but coolest stuff/shop for old school Volvo. I am using a B230 at 36psi of positive boost (50 absolute) from 4000 to 7000 rpm, the car is insane, still accelerating very quickly despite rear wheel sliping

[@TurboWorld]

Nice car Kyle, we have a 1982 white one we just microsquirted from k jet. Sweet collection boss! Great teaser video!

[@longautomotive]

Thank you! This car had megasquirt for many years, though I haven't decided where to go next as of yet.

@@longautomotive 16 valve it man, it's amazing.

[@apb123]

The watermelon plate, most underrated in NC, big ups

[@mangewide]

Damn :), hard to find a nice on here i Sweden even ;)

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Dude this thing looks epic!!

[@longautomotive]

Thank you!

[@-Matte]

Take care of that one, we don't have many of them left in Sweden unfortunately 😞

[@longautomotive]

The 2 door turbo cars are particularly difficult to find here now as well sadly. Really any of the turbo cars are hard to find these days.

[@karlbenz4925]

Nice one👍 You have good taste and a big garage, that's a good start for any car collector. I'm still stuck at the funding hurdle or lack of good stock around my neck of the wood. Look forward to more of that car.

[@longautomotive]

Thank you! More coming for this one!

[@jacobspyker4500]

Dude, the flat hood and full gt setup looks so cool! all you need now are the single round headlights!

[@longautomotive]

I just took the single rounds off 😂

[@jacobspyker4500]

@@longautomotive no way, really? That's so funny 🤣

[@farbenflo]

I thought the same 😅

[@JONNIE_ROCKER]

Wow old GT instruments

[@longautomotive]

Many years of collection and modification in those. It's a future project to finish it all.

[@digitalkamran1]

Looking forward to seeing the progress. Anyone who knows what the track id is??? Its calming, must have info 😅😂

[@DeanofMachines]

Best get to work on this one. I bet it does an OK burnout

[@longautomotive]

King of one wheel peel

[@DeanofMachines]

@@longautomotive You've got a welder. Make it happen.

[@1188clean]

Nice. Is the rear wing from a bmw e30? Looks like it

[@longautomotive]

It's a reproduction of a factory Zender spoiler made for Volvo 240s, so very similar styling to what BMW was doing as well

[@chrissimes9445]

So cool! Where are you roughly, saw your Bulls hat? I'm Raleigh. You have a cool stable here, plan a vid on the Caddy?

[@longautomotive]

Yeah hopefully in the future! I live north of Durham

[@bikeswankgang5501]

what you doing with that clean looking 240 dash

[@longautomotive]

Haha it's gonna replace the horrible dash in the car

[@saabeater]

BROOO

[@TheOneJPtv]

Nice clean set up. love the stance too. you planning on painting it? if so what color?...💯

[@longautomotive]

Thank you! Minor panel painting is gonna happen soon. Just to kinda "even out" the look. Not looking for miracles, it's got a good vibe.

[@FoolishPursuitForce]

DIRY?

How many days until 2023?!?!
