SUNDAY ARVO AT HAWKS BAY

A few weeks ago Byron sent me a text on a sunday arvo, asking if I was keen to get some flicks done on the hawk.. I couldnt say no.. so he headed down my way and went for a little drive to find a nice spot to get some... This is what he come up with!

Thanks, Streetkarnage.

YEP, I STILL HAVE IT!

I was thinking last night that it has been so long since I have done an update on the wagon... well the main reason behind that is... I have nothing to update!!

I have been flat out, now working 2 jobs and running 2 sites... my spare time aka the time i have to work on my cars is down to a minimum... I have been trying to not see the wagon at all, keeping it locked up in the garage... but on the weekend I had a little time to have a look at it... It made me sad.. so I had to do something too it. haha

I gave the front bar a quick coat of flat black and mounted it up, sat the grill in place and stood back, pulled up a seat and looked at it for about 15mins. haha 

then got the camera out and took a few snaps!!

I have organised the wagon to get finished off by the guys at ON-ROAD parts and performance.. so hopefully it wont be to far away from finished now. 

This one was taken by Byza when he called in on sunday!

The SK garage is always full hahaha

 Really loving the look of the front end now.. still have to mount my fog lights though... oh and it will be great to see a cooler behind that grill!

Well I hope that clears up some quires about whats happening with the wagon!

Thanks, Streetkarnage.

VALLEY RUNS

On the weekend we went out the valley to do a little shoot on Josh's 264... after a bit we headed home and it was a fun drive back!



Josh just had his new exhaust fitted on Saturday, 2 and a Quarter straight through with no cats or mufflers... so damn loud!!

Shoot of the car will be up tomorrow :)

Thanks, Streetkarnage.

WE FUCK SHIT UP

Was contacted by a local photographer James Dean to see if was interested in getting a shoot done on the HAWK... already knowing his work I jumped at the chance!

It was a crappy gold coast day but luckily the sun stayed out for a couple shots... but on the other hand rolling photos in the rain turned out mega awesome!

More photo's and full write up by James can be found here at WFSU.net

Cant thank James enough for the feature! If your thinking of getting a photo shoot done I highly recommend getting onto James as you can see he does awesome work.

Thanks, Streetkarnage.

BUILD THREAD

I thought I would post up the stages of my new 240

I started building this due having so many left over parts and also I got stuck with the wagon so I had some spare time on my hands haha

I made a small build thread on TB.com so some people got to see some updates but overall I didn't really post it up on many sites... not even this one!

So here are the stages of the car...

The day I picked it up.

Wheels fitted.

Painted and front end fitted

Finished.. well not completely finished I still have a few little things to do on it.

Ill post up more finished photos later today!

Thanks, Streetkarnage.

3 DEEP

So the other day me and my buddies decided to do a photo shoot in the downtown area.

You might remember David's C30 from one of my previous posts, and the 244 is Drew's car. I just got a little lower on the GT so i was up for some pics.

Check them out!!

THE HAWK

as you may have seen or read... I Built a new Volvo 240!

Byron Hayes will hopefully doing a shoot on it next weekend but for now, here is a photo by myself from the weekend!

Using a heap of left over parts from all my old Volvo's this one is a bit of a mixer and if you don't know your Volvo's you may not notice..

1986 Bumpers and Body

1980 Guards and Bonnet

1970 Grill, Lights and Surrounds

1984 Boot Lid

Making this my favourite body shape for a Volvo 240.

Would love some feedback on it!

Thanks,

Streetkarnage.

EUROMEET 4

Last Friday night was the 4th Euro meet held in Brisbane, I attended in the newly completed 240 that I have been building over the last month!

Friday was a very busy day for myself... most the day was spent trying to finish the car off before the 5 o'clock deadline I had to meet the pre-meet at Coomera service center!

Pleasantly to my surprise I got it all finished (I really thought I wouldn't) haha

Here are Josh's 240 and my new daily, parked up at the meet.

It was a great meet, bringing a good variety of cars.

Unfortunately I didn't get as many photos as I hoped.. mainly cause I was walking around looking and talking haha so that's my bad!

By far my favourite car off the night!! I have seen so many images of the amazingly clean HAHAA Golf... but for me this was the first time to see it, I was told by a few people that it doesn't get out to much!

Also finding out the very sad and amazing story behind the car!

So overall the meet was incredible, not as big as some I have been too.. but defiantly a great vibe all round on the night!

Looking forward to the next one.

Thanks, Streetkarnage

MORE MAGAZINE ACTION!

I got a text off a mate the other day saying, that the wagon got into another mag haha so I just went out and picked up the latest Performance Import magazine to check it out!

This is what I found :)

Thanks,

Streetkarnage.

MAGAZINE ACTION

YEEEW!

I have been told by a few people now that my wagon has been in a couple of magazines from Jamboree last year.

This is the first one I have seen with my own eyes, as they released the March issue of Hot4s with a back issue from January!

THANK F**K!

I cant say I'm a massive fan of this magazine (haha) but it is cool to see your own car in a mag!

Hopefully I can get my hands onto the other ones.

Thanks,

Streetkarnage

STEELIES

A Slammed 240 on flipped and widened 850 steelies is a winning combo..!

THE PRICE WE PAY

I have been talking to Nick for the last week discussing everything suspension for 240s, we have gone through aftermarket coilovers to comparing our current set ups...

Then yesterday I got a PM from him saying his car is fucking low enough and that he just raped his Subframe on a damn drain....

Luckily his dads friend is a Volvo mechanic and will be fixing it up from him, but with his E30 not on the road yet means he will be with out a car for a couple of weeks... this is the price we defiantly pay, when we daily our cars at crazy low heights!

it may be stupid, it may be gangsta, it may look rad, it may pull bitches, and it may get cop attention... haha but its defiantly not for the faint hearted!!!

Hope its all fixed soon mate!

Cheers

RUST-O

Full Rusted Volvo 240 on 850 widened Steelies.. so bad ass!!

And those front lights are incredible (haha)

Thanks,

Streetkarnage.

SWEDEN IN JERSEY

If your a regular viewer of SK this 240 wouldn't be new to you.

I got sent a link with a new shoot that was done on it, looking so mint in the snow!

JUNGLEDORIFUTO

I have been a member on Turbobricks for nearly 3 years now, and this build is one of those ones that i have been watching from the start.

The 244 has been in this family since new, giving to him from his grandfather.

It has changing in so many ways over the year, and you would not believe the amount of wheels he has had on it..!!

Got snow?


Now fitted up with 16x9.5 -23 on the front and 16x9.5 -40 on the rear.

I love the roughness of this car, its just nasty... in a good way :)

Another good point of this car, is that he slides it.. we really need to see more volvos out on track!!

take note of the Streetkarnage stencil on his front lip! HELL YEAH!

Thanks
