why would i want a non runner

[T5frankie]

Are you going mad Frankie? I did say "albeit not a yellow one" lol

I think I may start buying Volvos and spraying them yellow... mmm

lol doing an"emlyn" lol

[Shadow]

i would if i could. the units i had where the car was sprayed caved in when the idiot that had the yard next door ran a truck recovery truck (the kind that can tow an artic) through the back wall.

Very nice car, you've made some very nice changes too. Keep up the great work.

Lovely looking car buddy, well done.and i like the 480 as well, not many of them about these days. Big thumbs up

[M-R-P]

As I said last night, very nice pair of sweeds you have there. Didn't realise the work that went into the R - well done. Too many 850s getting broken or scrapped these days (although nobody bats an eyelid when somebody breaks a P2 but their time will come)
Glad to see no pics of the mental MR2 this time lol

Nice looking car and it sounds like it's quite literally been saved!
I have to confess I don't like the headlights and the location of the front no. plate. If your worried about drilling the front bumper then stick the number plate on. Mines been fitted in this manor for over 4 years, it's still there and it's been bombarded with lots of warm soapy water over those last 4 years not mention the fact that it's been over 70 (recently on the 1/4 mile strip) and still showing no signs of going anywhere fast..

it was a good save. i always want one but could never afford one. it been brilliant and a lot of fun to work on and i learned so much about doing the bodywork that i now know why it cost so much to get a car resprayed. also you should of seen the guy's reaction at spray store paint's when i asked for a gallon of volvo 607 paint lol. he look at me and asked if i was having a laugh and went and got the colour samples and asked if that was the colour i wanted and when i told him yes that's colour of the car he wouldn't believe me so had a bet with him showed him the car and got the static sheeting and the roll of brown paper for free!.

[Volvostorm]

Looking good, keep up the excellent work mate!

@ jamest5r. i still have the standard front lights and the plate was put the so i didn't have to put holes in my bumper.

I had same problem but double sided plate tape will work just fine - and that is with a plate held on the curve - needs to be the foam sandwich variety.

bit of an update.

got these form a scrapy from an r V70 t5



the only thing thats diffrent is mine has a pressure regulater where this rail just has a what looks like a regulater but it does'nt have a return line so that will need to be swoped over for the one from my car. will these be a straight swop or will i need to wait till i get it remapped? im hopping to get an HLM ecu but will he be able to map it for the diffrent injecters and a de-cated exhaust if i just send the ecu?

also got this today aswell its the top hose for the standard rip kit.



also i think i found out what the top radiater hose is from going by pictures i found on ebay a ford fiesta mk1 xr2. i don't know how to make a link so heres the item number 220743040793.

Good work Shadow ... most impressed with your DIY skills!! The 480 is looking good, could really do with being lowered tho!! ;0)

Where did you get the hose for the standard rip kit from? Got a link?
