Volvo 940 Turbo

[leeds_182]

It’s a 940 turbo and it says brown on the log book so I couldn’t resist!

Currently sat in a travel lodge in Wales as couldn’t face the four and a half hour drive back.

Its got some nice bits, egg crate grille, roof rack, and hydra wheels with full size spare.

I’ll get some more pictures when I get chance as I know you’ll all be itching to see more.

Mmmmmmm, I’m sure it will turn out well though, they usually do!

 

[Daz...]

That’s a bit new for you.

This going to be the new daily?

 

[MarkCup]

You sir, have a problem. It's fun to watch from afar though so I hope you don't stop. Top buying.

 

[Ben]

Looks tidy.

 

[Stefan.]

Staying in Wales... As you've already sold it?

 

[leeds_182]

I’m hoping to sell the plate to some Renault enthusiast.

R197 LVE

Renault 197 Love?

Maybe not...

where the f**k are you going to park that ? driveway must be full by now.

 

[Short Norman]

Like that, really like the colour that’s on it.

Think I’d lose the roof rack and change the wheels.

5 car drive, sort of.

 

[leeds_182]

Drove back the 250 miles without incident.

 

[Panda.]

Do like that!

 

[leeds_182]

Do like that!

It’s pretty tidy! Small rust spot on the leading edge of the bonnet which I’ll try and find some touch up for but other than that I can’t really complain.

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

The colour works weirdly well on that.

A Volvo for every day of the week?

 

[R3k1355]

Whats the Volvo count now? I've completely lost track.

Just three. I only bought this for the wheels as people want £500 for a set these days but I’m digging the Brown ness of it now so have advertised the smoker. That’ll never sell for what it owes me so the suspension and stuff might end up going on this one and the smoker go back to standard.

Possibly.

You are f**king mad, but I quite like it!!!

 

[Panda.]

Keep the brown one without a doubt!!!

 

[leeds_182]

Just did the first clean on the *cough* rose gold one. Some pretty horrible laquer peel on the roof so the roof rack will be staying! Other than that it’s pretty straight.

How much are these costing nowadays?

The missus bangs on about getting a more practical car so I might get her something enormous like this to teach her a lesson lol

Depends really. You can a reasonable none turbo car for around a grand. The boosted ones tend to be a few quid more.

 

[seb]

That is a great estate car

 

[leeds_182]

 

[Panda.]

That is full of win.

 

[Short Norman]

yep that looks better

 

[Z4MCSL]

This is great

I've always wanted one of these after having a T4 and a T5 I have a soft spot or old volvos

These older ones are RWD right? Must be fun

I approve very much, i have a 1975 Volvo 242 that is my project so I'm also a keen brick enthusiast. i love the colour.

Does it have a M90 box?

[Ben]

I bet it takes ages to clean haha.

 

[Djw Dave]

Rose gold goodness 🥰

 

[leeds_182]

As with a large majority of cars from this era that I buy it has locking nuts but no locking key.

b*****d.

 

[bashracing]

1 - get a 1/2 drive 12 point socket that is ever so slightly too small to fit over the whole nut, fit a extension bar on the socket
2 - lump hammer and beat he socket over the nut
3 - undo
4 - repeat

At first glance I thought you had put a Cosworth spoiler on the saloon, until I realised it was the bin [emoji2359][emoji23]

 

[leeds_182]

Brown goodness.

 

[leeds_182]

30mm spacers fitted to the rear.

Probably going to stick to this ride height now. the crawling over speed bumps was become a little tiresome in the other 940.

 

[Cub.]

Weirdly I like this one, especially the colour. I also like the wheels more than the other wheels you have.

Spacers look great aswell.

Got the fronts to do but I’ll stick them on another day.
