After almost getting destroyed in Hurrican Katrina and being in storage for three years, the Volvo shows up for a complete rework.
|
|
|
| Many hippies had influence on the scheme of this rare vehicle over the last 30 or so years. Time to make it repectible again.
|
 |
| First thing we removed the original bumper |
|
|
 |
| Because we found a little rust inside |
|
|
Next, the front bumper had to go. Out with the old and in with the new
|
 |
| simple yet distinctly better |
|
|
|
|
|
New Rear bumper with
Grote LED military taillights
and superbright LED reverse lights
All lights are protected with metal shields
Receiver hitch and all wires hidden
New fuel door
|
|
 |
| The factory peg board was removed, the jnterior insulated and then every interior panel was made again from 16ga steel. |
|
|
 |
| Here's the start |
|
|
|
|
 |
| The whole interior was sprayed with a bedliner to reduce noise and keep it from looking like the inside of a hamburger wrapper |
|
|
In the meantime:
New fuel system, gas tank to rebuilt carbs
New 37" Trxus Mts
New "modern" fuel door
plus others stuff
|
 |
| Back from the paint shop. An industrial flat black was used |
|
| -Repainted the c303 after having a problem with the seam sealer
-added black bestop halfback Jeep seats throughout
-installing sound system, completely new wiring harness, dual battery system, AC controls, marine radio with remote controls, interior LEDs, new dash and switch panel
-aluminum door panels with creative hardware
-the most expensive grab handles on the planet...they're made with Titanium leg fracture plates
-tinted windows
|
Next comes the mirrors, beadlocks, Volvo grill and all type of bolt ons like 60" hi lift jack, 15# Powertank system, and a license plate (the best one)
|
 |
| Going back together. We don't miss the camo one bit. |
|
| New and OEM VDO gauges
Custom dash
switch panel by 12 volt guy
superbright LED interior lights throughout the cab
and much more...
|
 |
| New Beadlocks installed |
|
|
 |
| A little trim added, powdercoated and can be used as a step too |
|
|
 |
| Custom dash and switch panel |
|
|
 |
| stereo controls and glovebox |
|
|
 |
| upgraded switch panel and VDO gauges |
|
|
 |
| 12v AC, plenty of sound, and custom console that covers the stereo equipment, engine cover and dual battery setup |
|
|
 |
| The back has more sound, amps, 15lb Powertank, storage compartments and hidden LED interior lights |
|
|
 |
| All the console compartments raise individually |
|
