Gäst Evil_Trolloc Postad 16 November , 2008 Rapport Share Postad 16 November , 2008 Hello everyone. I've a hard time reading most anything on this forum. I'm from the north shore (Massachusetts) in the USA. I have a 1957 Volvo tp21 #621 It has been modified a bit before I got it years ago. this includes larger 36" goodyear suregrip tires on the original rims, Chevy 350 engine Chevy Th350 transmission Power steering Power brakes Modern interior makeover front window and hatch sealed up custom front bumper and a list of other things. I'm in the process of fabricating perches to use the original GM motor mounts and I'm also installing a better power steering pump. Also looking to fabricate new fenders. The original are showing alot of rust for the front ones, this was due to modifications made to them before I got it. Some of the things I've done would be: new transmission filter + seals new headers and exhaust stripped the engine down to the block + heads and replaced all the freeze plugs new edlebrock intake manifold new holey carburator full tune up, new water pump and pulley and fan pulled the radiator and flushed it new radiator hoses and T-stat new fuel pump, Honed out the wheel brake cylinders and replaced the rubbers replaced 90% of the brake lines among a list of other things. The Hi / low work perfect, The lockers work perfect, the body is in great shape, no rott holes, the frame is excellent. All in all its a very nice machine, just a bit far from being stock. I'll be continuing to work on this project, although not much is going to get done because winter is about here and I have a close climate to you guys. I don;';t really want to part with it but I could really use the money other ways. Thanks for reading..

Gäst Evil_Trolloc Postad 3 Februari , 2009 Rapport Share Postad 3 Februari , 2009 Ok.. I uploaded alot of pictures into a photo bucket thing. They may not be in the best order.. and there were many more pictures of the engine as it was getting closer to completion, unfortunately those pictures were lost due to a bad memory card. Any of the case, here is what we have, when the snow season is over I will continue to work on it. Thanks for looking =) http://s399.photobucket.com/albums/pp76/evil_trolloc/Sugga/ http://s399.photobucket.com/albums/pp76/evil_trolloc/Sugga/ Evil_Trolloc2009-02-03 03:03:43 Citera Länk till kommentar Dela på andra webbplatser More sharing options...

Gäst Beau Postad 12 Mars , 2009 Rapport Share Postad 12 Mars , 2009 Nice car! On the picture of the brake drum are the springblades clearly visible. They look very sad. Mine were tired too but not so much. But there is hope. Altyco still have almost all the springblades for sale and I got mine delivered yesterday and at a very good price too.

Gäst Evil_Trolloc Postad 13 Mars , 2009 Rapport Share Postad 13 Mars , 2009 ah, the weight of a sugga sitting on the axles for 52 years has made them sad.. I'd be interested in knowing a bit more about the springs if you can send me some information. Also, if there is information for the axle seals, hub seals? Thanks!

Gäst Kalkyl Postad 15 Juni , 2009 Rapport Share Postad 15 Juni , 2009 Hi Evil_Trolloc Nice job on the "Sugga". Do you have any clue at all how your car got "over there"? As far as I know there is at least 3 "Suggas" on the American mainland. Do you know that there is only 724 made. I´m starting a new project right now, sugga of course.... Best regards Kalkyl Citera Länk till kommentar Dela på andra webbplatser More sharing options...
Gäst Nils Lassiter Postad 1 Juli , 2009 Rapport Share Postad 1 Juli , 2009 Greetings, I reciently imported a Sugga (# 148) from Sweden to San Diego. I'm in the process of restoring it. I plan to make a desert rat out of it. It has the penta B36 (AQ180) engine in it but I suspect it is not original. I also suspect that the transmision is not origional becuase reverse gear is in the wrong place. So far I have resleeved all of the brake cylinders and replaced the brake lines, replaced the leaf springs, replaced the drive shafts and U joints, replaces the shocks and put new military tires on it. Any suggestion you might have about the project would be greatly appreaciated. Citera Länk till kommentar Dela på andra webbplatser More sharing options...
Gäst Kalkyl Postad 1 Juli , 2009 Rapport Share Postad 1 Juli , 2009 Hi. The eng. is as you mentioned not original. the orig. eng is an L6 gasoline side valve; Volvo ED 90 HP. Take care on the Sugga. It is a classic. The B36 is also a nice eng. old, not a Hi peformance but a nice sound. A good carb and a manifold wouldn´t hurt. Hey, I found this pict. of a nice Sugga.
