Default Volvo body swap build

So I was browsing google images to show my brother the diffrence between a 95-96 body and a 97-00 and I saw this picture.

Clicked it and found that someone is swapping a old Volvo body onto the Lexus frame. I did a quick search and didn't see it posted already so thought I'd share the link here. I love these old body swaps onto newer cars.

The entire build thread.

One of the VP's at my company has an 83 Volvo two door something (I don't know much about Volvos) with a bored and stroked 5.0 and a centrifugal blower. He also swapped the independent rear end from god knows what into it.

The Volvo wagon swap is something I always wanted to do. When I was really young my family had early 90's Volvo 240 wagon and I was like "mom put a big motor in car so we can drive fast!"
