I don't know if this has been posted here or not.... but this guy did an awesome job on this! http://customikes.com/MiniMerc.aspx
Ya it was on here not too long ago, I don't know what the thread was called so I wouldnt know what to search for to find it. That is really cool though!
Cool what can be done with a volvo , a friend of mine just sent three old volvos to the crusher but I grabbed the tail lights thought they might be good for somthing later.
I think I would have flipped the rear window. It looks like it might flow better. Great looking car though, especially considering what he started with.
Thanks for the compliments. Working on a Phantom Mini Merc wagon using more Merc parts. Hudsoncustom, tried flipping the window but it looked hidieous . The way it is was the best compromise possible with the cut that I did. If anyone is planning on cutting a Volvo I'll be happy to share my lessons learned during the chop on mine. Just send me a PM or e-mail me via my website www.Customikes.com. Mike
Always wondered what happened to this car, saw it at my first Paso show in '87, and have wanted it ever since! Nice work, Mike! Great web site, also.
i always liked the old volvos and that i must say is amazing. someone needs to widen and chop one and then it would really be tough to figure out what it was.
I've seen those chopped Volvo Amazons in here too.I guess people have chopped more Amazons than PV's...
I just seen this car rusting away in a guys back yard. It's almost cut in half. He said so his old lady won't get it in the divorce. Dam shame.
Sure did . Cut it diagonally from the driver side taillight to the passenger side a-pillar at a 20 degree angle. Figured that I'd make a sign for the shop using the bigger section. The shop got flooded before I got it hung on the building and the rest is history Mike
