Im committed to long term ownership. Like the forester.

It’s kind of like your volvo. Pretty meh to look at but has character.

I had plans...

No chopping the springs and straight piping?

Looking at how much welding it had for the mot only 30% of the car is original metal.

There is a subtle difference to the front end. But yeah, it’s still essentially a coffin on wheels.

People have their dream cars, the GTRs, the lambos, the ferraris but ever since I got into volvos this has been the one that I wanted. I normally wouldn’t have bought this as I’ve got two other volvos at the moment but they’re getting rare and with the sale of the forester I had somewhere to...

£500 spent on another turbo. Hopefully this one works a little better!

Off she goes!

Apparently they’re going in another 940. This lass came to pick them up. Tidy.

I’ve not investigated it.

Sold these within 3 minutes. Facebook loved them!

Got some standard seats in now.

Oooooh, volvo friend.

I tend to keep my volvos. Well, longer than 2 weeks anyway.

She’s arrived!

Picture from the ‘secure’ compound in Wigan. It’ll be getting delivered tomorrow.

Taken a deposit on it and getting collected Wednesday hopefully.

Check out the rear axle...

Itis.

I think I’ve managed to source a set of celebration front seats for it. With my frame it’ll be like sitting on the shitter on those seats.

It’s not getting delivered today now. I’m sweating!!

I’m doing a bit of an @Ant1 and starting a thread before the car has arrived so hope nothing goes wrong or I’ll never live it down. My other volvo is down due to a blow turbo and after 6 weeks I’m not any closer to getting it fixed so the solution - buy another! This time its a saloon. It has...
