And I'm the not so proud owner of...

[Orca2]

I only have one kid , we figured out the cause, cost a bleedin fortune,

[Biff]

Oh he's certainly mine no doubt about that. Lol
I had a part in it but I didn't envisage that she wanted the full 12 months maternity (last 3 months unpaid) & that I'd lose my sodding job 5 months in.
Luckily we're ok now I'm back working but can't help thinking that a good chunk of wedge on a set of headlights is a tad selfish of me seeing as my car does half the mpg of hers this year is all about keeping the old girl maintained & fed & same go's for the car....
I'm here all night boom boom.

[jamesy12345]

are the headlights & front indicators available, Davey? I didn't follow the above discussion...don't want to tread on anyone's toes..!

[AcidicDavey]

I offered them Biff but he's decided feeding the family is more important, go figure (I'm only kidding mate )

So yeah, they'll be available.

So need that interior colour for ginge

[500tie]

I actually really like that interior colour shame the rest of the car isn't in such a good condition, although that's probably why it went to auction in the first place

The rear cards and possibly seats are a little different to the coupes sadly

I'm sure when I compared my old cabbie with my coupe they were the same. I'll do a bit more research, if they do fit, would you be interested in a swap for a black GT interior, with cash your way? Also is the drivers seat electric?

[AcidicDavey]

This interior is the sex . Car was being sold due to buying an estate for his red setters.
The guy parked the car in his garage which was down a narrow alley and I'm guessing all the bumps and marks were from getting it in and out of the garage as theses cars are a little difficult to maneuver in tight spots!
Shame but by just changing/respraying the bumpers would make a world of difference!

The seats are both manual and heated.

I would gladly do a swap with someone for their interior plus cash my way.

The rear setup will definitely only fit cabs though. The bases are probably the same but the card are different because of the bloody roof and where the cards meet the backrest they differ in design sadly

Last 2 pics are of this car and the Coupe I once had.

I hoovered it and cleaned it out, it was truly disgusting! The chap that owned the car had never cleaned it in the 2.5 years he had it! It's only done about 1000 miles in that time too! (Why the hell did he have it?)
There were old tax discs just thrown on the floor still in the holder in the back!

If I still had a C70 Coupe I'd swap over the front seats

[jamesy12345]

Love those ginger seats)) replied to yr PM mate about the lights

[Biff]

Very jealous jamesy but they are going to a good home on your saffy.
I do need some in my life, but it will be after I have her painted. A finishing touch shall we say.

[stribo]

Shame about the rear seats and cards, I'll have to give it a miss.

Cheers fella...Yosser had it so nice I wasn't going to touch it, but I'm not a big fan of projectors and couldn't resist. I've got another grill for it also, will post up in my project thread as & when....

It's a real shame, bloody convertibles, going to waste in this heap!
Oh well

[AcidicDavey]

I thought I'd post to say that the car has gone and will be going under the hammer tomorrow evening

Ended up swapping loads of bits to make other's cars better
Headlights, rear lights, grill, steering wheel, handbrake handle, air vents and wheels. Kept the floor mats for myself and also swapped over any bits in better condition like switches etc

I still have the wheels so if you're interested in some rare Otrera Alloys with really bad paint let me know. I ended up put wheels on the car that I was given for a swap for the tapperty engine from the V70 R I broke so I can sell the wheels I intended to put on this C70 too!

Anyway, some comparison shots between old and new style lights...

Good luck, hope you get what u wanted for it

[MIKESC70T5]

I put the updated headlights on my old C70, really transformed the look of the car. I purchased them new from Volvo and paid over £400 for them. The rears were over £200 at the time.
Someone will get a bargain if there for sale at £200.
