    Do you really need an answer to that Colin?

    The only thing that lets modern Volvos down is the FWD. Imagine how much fun a P2 would be in RWD format!!!

    Right - I'm off to win the lottery!

    A little work in progress, still not sure about it, the frame looks to small imho and requires finishing with a better badge and slash with a motorsport 'R' in the n/s bottom corner

    Ok OK... here's some non girly stuff I've been doing lately
    New Inlet Manifold

    Cleaned up and fitted with a 3" TB

    New (to me) set of blues to go in

    Not just a straight swap, as the linkage was fouling


    which resulted in a strip down and rebuild, to address this and to get around the wiring harness length problem

    all shiney inside and back together

    Thanks Graham but it's about 200,000 miles away from being as nice and shiney as yours. "Cleaner !!!" I think would be the right word, but if any of you know my high miler, this is really the first season that I've started tidying her up, as before I would only bother do little bits if there was a 1/4 mile gain to be had and now it's, while stuff is off, I'll try and tidy a bit more and improve the general appearance of her step by step, pics like this do help encourage me, but do wonder how long it will be till I become a bit ocd about her

    Sorry for the delayed reply, but it's been a hectic few days. The wiring on mine was tight so, I dis-assembled the throttle body and rebuilt it with the spindle rotated 180degs to what it was before, then rotate the throttle position sensor mounting plate 180degs and hopefully the wiring will now reach ok, if not look down below as there is a bolted on wiring clip, if this is unbolted or repositioned,the harness plug should reach easily, hope this help mate.
