You must think awfully similarly to my brother, who is planning precisely the same thing... with a little encouragement from me  ;) ;D

And you simply must post pics of the volvo work--I've been kicking around ideas of a D24 turbo monster thrown into some worthy chasis for a while now, and have always wondered what other people have been able to do with the platform.

All that to say, welcome to the forum!  :)
