    Who was building the Volvo Hot Rod

     



    I can't seem to find the post on this car, I just remember it was an early Volvo & I believe the guy was using a Mazda rotary w/a supercharger from a buick 3800. Anybody got a link to it because I can't find it...joe

    Finding an old thread without a UserName seems to be like hunting for a needle in a haystack, and sometimes even WITH a UserName it's one rabbit trail after another. I have vague memories of the build thread you mention, but not enough unique features to fuel an advanced search with any hope of success.

    I too tried that name, and checked his posts.
    But the majority of his posts were of a political nature, so gave up after half an hour or so.
    Good luck with the search mate; you're going to need it...

    Seems to me that Evolvo was not a happy camper when he chose to stop posting, and Tech wasn't the only member who butted heads with him over his non-automotive posts, as I recall. I thought he had a lot more here about his Volvo's, too. Ohhhhh wellll!

    The Volvo looks sweet! Maybe Joe can get his questions answered directly.
