It was like a piece of Swiss cheese. The guy had repaired it with cardboard and toilet roll. Cleaned it up now. Just need the volvo badge on there.

Got Craig to help me with the wing today as he’s in my support bubble. I spent 6 hours trying and failing to fit it so felt a little vindicated when a welder and grinder was needed. Needs a bit of clean. It’s on eBay at the moment. 101 watchers yet strangely I’ve only had one message!

Hill Power - what a name from the past. One of the few clio tuners / specialists that bowed out with his reputation still intact! Restore it!

Air it out bru.

No, he gave me £400 for it. If I could’ve put it on the 740 I’d of kept it but I couldn’t.

He did tell me he’d keep me informed on how the repairs went.

Goodbye.

Ive found it’s harder to sell a car when it’s broken!

Eye spy is still one of my favourites. I’m also partial to a game of slaps or knuckles.

Deposit taken. The dream is over.

£250

31 years to be exact.

Before I new someone who can weld I was the same. When the average age of your car is 30 years old you have to accept the odd bit of corrosion.

It had an advisory for ‘underbody corrosion’ - I think that was a bit of an understatement!

Nooo, it’s a 32 year old car, its gonna need a tickle every now and again. I’ll at least use it over the summer months to drive to and from my daily exercise spot.

According to my welding guy the chap who mot’d the doka must have been stevie wonder. Great. All welded up now though and should be back this weekend.

I watch Jesse collingham for the comments.

what a beauty!

Yeah, that’s a tad over priced!

I never stop working on them.

I got a not new new front wing for the 740. I tried changing it myself but after 5hrs had to give up. What an absolute c**t.

Yeah, loved that video! Some of the content from Jonny Smith is brilliant.

Yeah.

Some oily scrap arrived this morning.

Anyone notice how the windscreen wipers on the first video sounded like a seagull?

Taking the doka for some work doing today. The rot paranoia is strong.

Nice. I’m fancying a 240. This ones in Leeds.

Exactly right!

Got my new old stock bonnet. Did somebody say hood pipe?

So, after getting the odd £500 offer I’ve decided to try and fix the car. I’ve ordered a head off eBay and will then be getting it skimmed and all that shizzle and hopefully get the thing back on the road in the next couple of months.
