Cool Volvo 340 drift slag - up and running!

take an ordinary volvo 340, this one for example...

Weld the diff

Fit "slightly" lower springs :wink:

and you get this! my newest drift wagon 8)

Why do this to an unsuspecting volvo 340?
Well it means you can do this with it.

and this!

All this for a mere 250 quid as well

My mate bought one of these for about £50 to go drifting about in. Lasted about 3 hours before the suspension collapsed, they crashed it and then they burnt the clutch out The thread is on Scoobynet somewhere
