I hope he fitted a quick release gearbox. ;)
Well apparently my car is finished, knock sensor sorted and final mapping done, many thanks Mr Williams, let's hope I can keep it running past Sunday :)
Yeah 3 yrs ago lol

For once I agree with Frank, sad but true. Manual estates are desire able, auto saloon with broken engine, £1500 tops, so best to break it and make a nice tidy sum.
Not really happy with the way it pulls tbh, Mark Shead did what he could with the TT but to quote him "it's a bit clunky to use " Tim can do a far better job now with the standard ecu's, i know...
Never one to miss out on a potential sale, our Frankie!
I've no idea really, Craig. But I would have thought it should be pretty tightly sprung, probably too tight to move by hand.
If that's...
never ad any probs in me 850 with anything on road or 1/4 mile dave jim frankie mole claymore lol
Do you want a bowl of milk to go with that? What a snide comment to make on a great project. The work Tim has done for Chris is a bit above & beyond your average home mechanic & Chris has borne the...

The 1st ones do look good frankie :)
Get some Pegs on it.;)
Just because some of us have other non Volvo car's doesnt mean we cant chat about other marques.
Also some of the members on here have made good friends via this forum and Volvo ownership, and it...
It's got a Volvo engine.
Looking good so far... but Frankie made me lol too ;)
Sounds like a lot of nice gear there, another contender for car of the year 2015
He's also got a spare one but I think Frankie is having that.
Did it start? my moneys on it starting 1st time :)
The scuttle needs to be changed too, to do a proper job :(
They do look great though.
Those wheels will look epic on a 240! :D
Oh, love that 142 btw Frankie. Top bombing!
I thought about converting to round headlights, its much more involved than one first realizes! A grill, headlights and bonnet is required, note the flat front bonnet on that early yellow 240, mine...
