Yeah that one, Didn't think it was worth posting the pics.
They're old ones anyhoo, Bonnets a bit more rusty now, LOL.
Nice car, Sound bloke :smile:

Took me up to see it in his 854R...
I now have Koni SSK's and IPD anti roll bars on the shopping list. Rides really nice. :cool:

As I posted on that thread on VOC, he is indeed a genuine guy. I got lots of feedback from other people saying how honest both him and the car were, I guess it's a good buy with great potential. Enjoy!

Can do you a bonnet in white if your interested mate £90 inc del.

Will keep that in mind, I'll get the car back first and see what's left in the kitty.
Bruv's putting up some of the money until I can get my money back from the bank (Long story) But he's in Portugal at the minute. :cry:

[Flatout Phil]

Looks good at the price!

[cherry1809]

All back safe n' sound :partysmil

Will get some pics up when it stops raining :rolleyes:

Will start a project thread soon, Too. Cars still standard at the moment so will do full pic and write ups on whatever I modify. :)

[cherry1809]

Fitted the missing bit of trim back on the OS wing just now.
Jobs for this week are...

Replace CD bumper with proper R bumper (Came with the car)
Replace PCV system
New leads, Plugs, Cap etc.
Sort rear wiper
Stop exhaust rattle

Next week I'll look at getting a cambelt kit sorted out. Can't find any mention of when it was last done in the history. Will Volvo have it on record?

[Tomcat]

Needs that front bumper replacing, looks like an ex cop car from the front,lol.

[cherry1809]

Bruv said that :D
