Story

This Volvo was a station wagon with 5 doors. But I thought that it would be a better racing tune over the car if it had 3 doors instead. I hope you agree) And to get an effective medicine for that narrow look it has from the beginning, I decided to widen it a bit. The result ended in 1" wider per side in the front and 3" in the back with smote curves. What I have trying to achieve I that when i meet another car they will probably look, and after a few seconds they gonna think: What the heck was that! The engine work will be a separate picture, I'd like a blown engine, turbo or compressor of some kind. Would very much get some advice on that. Ps. I will update on this side when i got some paint on the CAR.
