Bought a Volvo 142 as form of transportation to get me from Stockholm to Nynashamn to go surfing. Turns out there’s a lot more surf around Sweden than Torö, so I’ll need smooth fast transportation to get there.
So I’m starting a project to turn my ocean green 142 into a 16v b230 Carburetored surfing finding work horse. Any tips on the project are welcomed
. Yes i can understand Swedish, so if you’ve got a similar project I’d love to hear about it.
Nice car 
This looks like a really nice project! Will be a fun one to follow.
That three spoke R-sport steeringwheel you have got there is very sought after model, especially with that R-sport horn button. Worth arond 2500-4000 sek, depending on buyer and condition. 
What transmission are you planning to use?

Hey Nick,
A few people have actually mentioned that the steering wheel is quite sought after. Can you believe it actually came with the car.
The plan is to use a ZF transmission, though I’m always open for suggestions.
Here’s a little update on my progress on the 16v build. So far I’ve got all the parts ready to be installed expect for a break booster alternative which I’m open for suggestion for. I’m also still looking for a transmission and I’m thinking about going with a rebuilt M47. But for a little eye candy here’s a few pictures of the B230F and top I’ll be using which was machined and renovated by the one and only Krilles Motor. 
Engines nearly done! Next will be to find a good Masterbreak cylinder setup. Anyone have recommendations.
