The ramp-pit plans I posted last month have been working out well for me — I’ve gutted the interior of the 1800 and have finally begun working away at the rust on the floorpans. Turns out other people have been searching for such plans, too: The page made Make Magazine’s blog of do-it-yourself projects last […]

Here’s a little something I made for my own enjoyment, but I figured there might be a few others who would enjoy it, too: It’s a 3D screensaver featuring our favorite car, the Volvo 1800.

…And some of you (quite a few of you, according to the emails) may be wondering: What the #@$^%@ happened to the 2005 Volvo 1800 calendar?
