2003 Volvo V70 D5 SEso. Just suppose I found a 1800ES, late model 73/4, good condition, not spectacular. . .
What are the pratfalls in owning such a beast?
Anyone ever put a chipped D5 in one?
Might be fun, you never know.

Thanked 124 Times in 105 PostsSod the D5 lump, chipped or not. One of those is crying out for the V8 lump, aka the new ones made by the Konigsegg dude.

Now one of them might even tempt me away from the dark side
Don't let age define you. It's a number that's all.

Thanked 313 Times in 249 PostsI'm sorry, It must be me. I'm addicted to the off-beat howl of a 5-pot. Or a six.
I guess I'm weird like that.
OK. Another idea. T6 from an S80 mated with an M90 box. 19" wheels and slammed in the weeds. C30 leather and info display. Wood, chrome & pearl paint . . .

Thanked 5,021 Times in 4,072 Postsi've never really liked the ES estate shape on P1800, but did have a 1965 P1800 for a project (which i never actually finished). The cars themselves can be quite cheap to buy, i got mine for £500 but paid out another £300 on body panels (rear arches, outer sills) which are very expensive because you can only get them from specialists so they rule the market. Wheels are the same fitment as Nissan/Honda/Mitsubishi etc so really plenty of choice. I'd of thought room is going to be the limiting factor under the bonnet for a 5 cylinder

Thanked 316 Times in 248 PostsTo be honest I would prefer a perfectly standard 1800ES. A thing of beauty.

Thanked 870 Times in 621 PostsThere's a red one that I see in a local branch of Lidl most weeks. It could do with a cut and polish.
I think they are beautiful cars.“If people let the government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as the souls who live under tyranny.” Thomas Jefferson (1778)
Did you know the EU says that you can't claim that drinking water prevents dehydration. So now you know for sure what many of have known for years that the EU is run by a bunch of nutters.

Thanked 870 Times in 621 PostsIf you feel the need to spend a few hours with a mig welder, and a spray gun. And can afford a silencer, brakes, clutch and so on and so on here's a little something.
