Re: Brake Bleeding

I know this is a late response but I figured I would respond to this in order to aide anyone else that is looking for an answer to this. While the manual (or at least a variation of the TGB manual) shows bleed ports at the top of the Lockheed servos this really isn't the case. The go to procedure fo...

Re: Locker modifications

I don't adhere to the 'if it works why mess with it' mentality. If we all did that there would be no aftermarket support for this vehicle or many others. Ingenuity requires the mindset that something can be done differently. Maybe not better or worse, but differently. With my setup I plan to switch ...

Re: Parabolic springs anyone?

I thought I replied to you post but I guess I did not. That's my bad. You are correct Paul expects them at the end of month and then a week or two to coordinate shipping so we are close!

Re: Parabolic springs anyone?

Hey K.C. Not at the moment. As long as your email address is listed so we can get an email out to you which I see you have. Everything is in order and once the list is closed out on the 2nd Paul will initiate the next steps. For now you are good. :) FYI I did send you an email for clarification thou...

Re: Parabolic springs anyone?

Update! We have set the deadline for this production run for September 2 (2018). As of now we have 103 spring commitments but could possibly surpass 120 by then. Just FYI and for visibility if there is any interest in getting in. Not sure another run like this will ever happen so.. if you want Parab...

Re: Parabolic springs anyone?

Awesome. I just saw that. I have one other guy with a 304 that is probably tossing in a set of two fronts tomorrow so that will put us at 42. I'll keep it open a little after that to let other get the opportunity for yes/no and then we can proceed with getting some parabolics...finally! I just added...

Re: Parabolic springs anyone?

Just tossing an update to the hunt for parabolic springs. I created a list with google docs and posted in the c303 facebook group. So far we have 32 out of the 40 required. I have also posted in the German and Swedish forums as well as the Dutch Facebook c30x group so if anyone here that is not in t...

Re: Sound Off if you have a Volvo C30X

My plans are to make this rig a well cared for civilian rebuild sort of like the orange C303 in the original brochure. My only two challenges right now are trusting a local shop with the work considering the type vehicle and having to rely more on a shop since I don't really have room in the garage ...

Re: Sound Off if you have a Volvo C30X

Birmingham, AL. I've never seen a 142 here or any 1-series Volvo in my 15 years of living here (originally from New Orleans) so I know I won't be seeing any C303's either.. since I would have by now if they were here.

Re: Sound Off if you have a Volvo C30X

I've owned classics since my late 20's.. Decided to finally part with one so I could get a C303. I've owned an International Scout II since I was 19 (now 40) but decided to give her up for this endeavor. It'll go along side of my '71 Volvo 142e.
