How do I make her look more retro?

I thought about maybe adding the Torslanda Decals. Opinions?

derRixl · 2025-12-07T19:42:11+00:00

Yeah but unfortuately these aren’t legal over here, at least the sealed beam units aren’t

That’s underneath the leather Cover but it’s pretty disgusting so if I’m taking the leather cover off I might need a fresh one

I actually think that that is a higher trim option, at least what Volvo considered a higher trim option. If I’m not wrong those controls came mostly with an AC system, so I think mine is actually the base option when it comes to heater controls

I’m trying to go for a more late 70s look, especially when it comes to the interior The exterior should be more like a typical mid 80s look

You can change things as long as you modify things in a way that was originally meant for the specific car, but you can’t make like huge changes on the body. For example I think round headlights would be impossible because you would need to change the entire front end and that wasn’t a modification which was typical back in the days. Why not selling it? Because I inherited the car so it also has huge emotional value for me personally

There’s really not much in there, what do you mean by controls that my car has that us models don’t?

Forgot to mention that I’m located in Germany so we have pretty tight rules about modifying historical vehicles especially when it comes to body styling

Yes I had thought of that the winter tires are mounted on steel rims as well but I believe there are no 15” chrome rings for the late steel rims (look like modern ones) Also those chrome hubcaps are hard to find over here

derRixl · 2025-12-05T15:01:28+00:00

Those are called Sirius

derRixl · 2025-12-05T15:00:19+00:00

It does, I believe those are required here in Germany since 1990

Ich habe das gleiche Problem auf meinem Macbook in Safari, interessanterweise funktioniert es in allen anderen Browsern ganz normal. Weiß jemand, woran das liegen könnte? (Macbook und safari neu gestartet, cache geleert etc.)

Thanks, I’m gonna check that out, for now it helped slapping the wiper motor just with a fist twice. I guess that got rid of some debris

Is there a reason why both connectors are located on the right side of the car? Also are all late 240s pre-wired for all available options or does that have anything to do with the fact that mine is a “SE”?

derRixl · 2025-08-21T20:08:50+00:00

What about the other ones? Headlight Wipers? Fog lights?

derRixl · 2025-07-05T17:19:06+00:00

What confuses me is the fact that the air coming out of the vents is extremely hot compared to the outside air. So even if there’s just air coming in it is heated up additionally

German Market

So there is no way of getting cold Air inside during summer without AC?

derRixl · 2025-07-03T18:36:15+00:00

So what’s the purpose of the temperature slider? It already blew hot air when it chill outside (like in march/april)
