Still ongoing and never really ground to a halt. Ive had a few smaller projects in the meantime and I stopped posting on here a long time ago. Ive only popped back on today to redirect people to the...

Another small update.....Motivation is lacking and cashflow is low so Im starting to flag with doing jobs :(

Ive managed to source a front uprated ARB I can use. I just need to buy it...more...

I like them!

Well tonight me and my trusty mate Johnners popped up the workshop to pick up a tin of stone chip on the way home and then whilst we were there we fixed some bulbs on my V40...then thought "I know...

Well not really an update on the white one but a bit update on the 960 which is giving its life for the 245.

Finally got the engine and box out. What a horrible job, I never want to go near a 960...

I would add on an unrelated note that the FK website is stupid as I accidentally pressed a button and cancelled my order ! Had to phone up Germany direct and ask them very politely to re-instate it...

Easiest way is to go direct to Volvo for parts. They may cost more than your local motor factors but they can get the parts correct the first time and usually within 2 days.

I renewed the top...

Im still here! The conversion wont stop, Ive been doing little bits here and there, just nothing big enough to really update on and a lot of my time has gone into the Pug as thats hopefully going to...

Looking good mate! On a side note, the Titans that used to be on that car are now sat in my garage waiting for my dad to pull his finger out and get them refurbed :)

Well today me and my mate Glen decided to crack on and get the car back on its wheels so that I can get my 960 in next to it for breaking.

We started out by drilling the crossmember to enable us...

agree with Emyln! Shes looking sweet but needs a rear spoiler!

Well I had an itchy eBay finger that needed to be scratched and subsequently I bought this 1994 960 last week and picked the old girl up today.

Was a 400mile round trip to collect it and she drove...

wow thats a lucky escape. Glad everyone in the car is ok! :)

i get between 29 and 30 mpg in my T4 and I dont hang around.

Good write up mate, shame you had to smash the grill though, I managed to do mine without but mines an aftermarket eggcrate so I possibly had a bit mroe room than you.

ahh Dean thats some crap luck.

Hope you can get the car fixed up ASAP, least you alright though, Deer are like brick walls.

Ok guys forgive me for being dumb here but...

what is the PCV system thingy?
Why do people always talk about renewing them?

Heres how I did it (copied from VOC)

To get the thing open, you need to remove the three bolts that hold the mechanism onto the crossmember, in front of the radiator. Someone to wedge the grille...

My cable went last year. I got into my bonnet by sticking a long socket set through and actually bolting the whole bonnet catch from the front panel and lifting the bonnet with it still attached then...

what a nightmare today has been...

I started out by fitting a new drivers side headlight after I broke the indicator brackets off last week. Managed to source a full Sport headlight with black...

Well my sump is back from welding!

After goig through a couple of people who said it couldnt be done and wasnt possible I was recommended a local guy who has done an absolutely sterling job on it...

looking good Martin!!! Definitely needs a spoiler :)

Well I had the day off work and with the sun shining I decided to replace my drivers side wing.

Old wing off. I did some rust proofing too after this picture:...

Well it certainly does look nice! I'm leaning mine on the standard alloys, just cant justify the cost of getting Arcadias and having to fork out for new tyres.

On a side note Ive just cleaned the...

55k!? Jesus!
