    1982 Volvo 245 The DL Disaster

    so welcome to my new project! bought on a kind of blind knowing off john hughes. this being a early 240 (at least early scuttle) that was cheap. and maybe make a good project, the car got delivered early satday morning on the back of a old mitsubishi looking rather sorry for itself knowing prior the engine had "issues" we starter motored it up the yard and parked it in the naughty corner.

    initial inspection was good verry minimal rust in the usual areas. some odd areas mainly caused by the prior owners stupidity. the fake cladding caused some rust. vinyl roof didnt help the rain gutters. but we got the engine to fire. and oh god it sounded like someone was smacking the block with a hammer. a real nasty *CLUNK CLUNK CLUNK* so what do you do? pull the engine. and start faffing. ill update each day as its been a few week since i owned this car but been too busy to start a thread!

    out comes the old 2.1
