As all of swedens youngsters, even i had the SIPS at school breakfast.

Volvo made quite a deal of it, and it mainly consist of a extra beam in the door to protect your legs, safetybelt strechers and a bag, or two, in the seat..
Or are the bags in the B pillar on series -9 Forneby?

I am going scavenging for a black cloth interired -7 0r -9 series right now

Blasting that you made it look so good in your car...

Will you go all the way with a center console too? I see that the guys at Impala ss forums likes to use the blazer unit..

 

yap, i also use the Volvo centerconsole.
under the console is place enough for can hide the ECU from the Engine
the bags are in the seats.
tomorrow comes new pics

 

Looking forward to it.. The Volvo row on my local junkyard was a little bit snowy ( cant tell what series they are without shovel the roofs free from snow right now) so i might just buy me one from "blocket" (our version of craigslist), then i will have all the brackets and stuff too..

 

Is it possible to get some updates? Maybe some pics on your interior? Would be good to see how you did it, as i am in progress to do the same..
I have found out that the V70 has a backseat that fits well when just measuring, but i dont know how it will be to fit it in practically.. Did you try any other models, or did you go with the 965 seats directly?

I havent had any luck in finding a good black cloth interior yet, so i am thinking of going leather instead..

 

tjena
the interior is ready


nearly ready, only the centerconsole wait for the GPS.
the front seats are easy to install.
you can use the volvo consoles, but you must come a little higher.


the rears are a little crazy. the Volvo have a straight body under the rear seats, but Pontiac looks like a roller coaster under the seats.
its a loot of thinking and construction, but it works


same thing with the seat belts in front. Pontiac have the belts in the headliner.
now i have 3point belts is was fixed in the b-pillar.
on the first pic you can see the belts.

 

It looks awesome! Really love your wagon!!

It seems like i have got hold of a V70R interior now.. Black leather/Black mocca. We will see tomorrow if we agree on the price..

 

Great car, Forneby and those are awesome seats!
