Overnight parts from Sweden’s.

I think I went a bit OTT with the ramair and should have probably gone a bit more discrete then dog dick red.

Got the new rear reg on.

The 740? That just stays in the garage and I go smell it every now and again.

Wagons have been done to death but I agree they look better. I suppose I can always take the £1000s of parts that’ll go off this one and stick it on a wagon at a later date!

Really?

I can’t run bigger than 16s on a 740. It’s just not cricket.

They’re 16s. I think they might need a bigger tyre but I’ll see how they look when it’s all together.

25mm spacers arrived. I could have probably gone 30mm but I don’t want to have to ‘modify’ the arches. I’m not 100% on the wheels but once my front spacers arrive (from Latvia) I’ll be able to have a look and decide what I want to do.

Saloon life.

£1250 for one and £400 for the other.

I wish.

No, bought the two for £1400 and sold them for £1650.

Off it goes.

Oooooh car parts.

Ordered a rear plate. Front one is ok and it’s a Lloyd’s volvo one so I wanted to keep it I nicked that grille. They’re like rocking horse poo.

Provisionally sold!

Gave the new one a wash. It’s pretty tidy with the exception of the bonnet. I think it’s been parked under a tree for a long time as it was covered in s**t. I’ve tried everything I know to get it out but it’s still there so I’m assuming it’s eaten into the laquer. Never mind.

I had black hair before I got into volvos.

That’s what I call a roof rack.

Yeah, 18s no less! Rare direct fit for the older volvos.

I just spent £700 on some wheels for it as well. £700 wheels on a £1500 car - those so scene it hurts.

Not worth the hassle. This one will look cool once I spend around 10 grand on it and if needed over night parts from Sweden.

Nooo, I’ve had this since 2004!

No, but got a few interested in it. The saloon is better mechanically even though I much prefer the look of the wagon.

I bought another today. This is to replace the green machine as the daily driver. I won’t bother with a thread as it just upsets people!

They won’t prosecute for that as nobody was injured. They’ll just ensure that section 170 is complied with. Every accident on the road is someone’s fault and if the police investigated each one there’d be none left to catch the ‘burglars and kiddy fiddlers’.

The company won’t pay out so you’ll have to go through insurance which will end up costing you £100s in the long run. I’d just get them refurbed especially as they were already kerbed.

Perhaps he doesn’t like going to bed with his car Keys up his shitter.

For a diesel it’s about £1500. Turbos it’s about £2000. All the other ones £1000-£1500.
