Not sure if i'd classify as a hot rod or race car but it started it's life as a Volvo 13134.
It looks decent but trust me, looks can be deceiving.
Lots of hidden rot..

This is just a small sample of what i've replaced so far when it comes to sheet metal work..

I'm currently reconstructing it with a completely different engine and rear axle. The 'new' rear axle being wider I've also reshaped the rear fenders.
Not to mention that I'm going from 14" rims with 165mm wide tyres to 18" and 245mm wide tyres.
Currently working on a new 3 link suspension for the rear axle(which is what started this whole problem with the axle hole) and a new subframe since the old was rotted through.
The car will have a full rollcage, air suspension and almost 4 times the horsepower that it had stock but will be meant for the street.
Highly unlikely that I will take it racing.
