Looks like the volvo ‘bent a valve’ so will be a head off job. I’m trying to punt it for £1250 as is but it’s proving a challenge!

Council.

They go next level at that place with cavity’s and all that jazz. Not sure I could justify that price tag though.

Mental, but there’s nobody else that does it round me.

There’s some surface crust but nothing too bad. Should I just break out the waxoyl myself?

U turn. Decided to keep this and at least drive it when it’s above freezing. On a side note, I did get a quote from jr classics for the under side doing and that was £968. Gulp.

Not set in stone yet. Put it on FB and my phone went nuts. Had 4 people offering to send deposits the first day. Scene life.

Might be selling this shortly. Summer shows are becoming more and more a distant pipe dream!

Just if you win from my experience.

Bit of snow action. Been sat for a week and fired up lovely. Still tempted by some exhaust ‘mods’.

I think as a daily driver they’re too fragile body wise now and you’ve already got a few garage queens. Mega motor though.

Taking it out in the snow? There will just be a pile of rust left!

I prefer the term ‘spirited’ rather than ASBO.

I was brapping off the limiter shortly before this happened.

Yeah, they’ve all been pretty reliable to be be fair. This was the fastest one though - I’m guessing that could also be a reason it shat itself!

I’m all for blowing money but you’ve got to draw the line somewhere.

You can pick engines up for £300 - £500 BUT then it needs fitting etc. I’m in two minds at the moment.

Drive ornament is back.

It’s engine related. It sounds like someone running with a bag of 6-8 spanner’s on their back.

RIP.

I always wanted one but never had the balls.

Yeah! It was a long stint!

Broke down again the other day. Rang the RAC at 5pm and they eventually turned up at midnight. Yep, a 7hr wait in a volvo. The reason? Covid allegedly. Anyway, the guy couldn’t fix it so got towed home but he said it could be the dizzy cap or rotor arm. That was a bit disappointing as they’d...

Replaced that gasket last night.

Wash and oil change today.

I’m just waiting for Santa to deliver Craig’s welding present.

Few pics from today.

This has an old school feel to it. Forum is full of 20k cars now and nob heads in volvos so nice to see someone doing something interesting.

It actually doesn’t leak when it’s parked up. I think it looks a lot worse than it is - I hope...
