I'm going out to take the wheel off and get a better look, watch this space...

be careful if 'looking' with a sharp pointed object, don't press too hard

I second that, be careful of the rubberised underseal as it hides rust well.

Not a big secret but I have been passively looking to sell my 480 for a while but havent done much about it. https://serving.photos.photobox.com/36209025ef07f9fba2aab3b3ec1d89016c2bce8c591f676c20b76db75dbbb95bdbc5ade0.jpg There is loads of info on my project thread, have a read and if it is somethin...

are you doing a timing belt change on this one?

The wheels look good.

If they were Volvo optional then even better, not as if they are tacky aftermarket wheels.

With 90's Volvo's becoming more rare it is nice to have the option to swap wheels.

If you need any LHD parts let me know I still have a load of parts attached to the remains.

Happy new year 480 peeps, here's to a good year ahead.

No problem, I tend to post the boring bits on my thread as there is always someone else going to have the same problems. I cant remember how I found it in the end.

I watched it ok using the download option.

Nice to see so many cars together.

the rear wings aren't that bad.

I have cut the panels off my spares car. a lot of work but if the car merits a restoration it isnt impossible. also have bonnet and odds left over in storm grey.

have you got full car pictures?

looking good. Did you say the head lamp cover is a lighter shade of grey? can't tell with the reflection. They seat belt arms can be fixed. more difficult when they snap in two. Whilst I was waiting for some paint to dry I had a a go at fixing my seat belt guide. The one I had fitted to the car got ...

Thats the pain with learners, whilst learning they are always under supervision whilst driving so cheaper to add to parents policy. But when they pass just a driver with no experience. It does get better when you have been driving a while and get older, I pay between £100 and 200 for my cars. Can yo...

try elephant they are cheap for young drivers. How long you have had your licence, age make a difference. if your birthday is due wait a few weeks same if the anniversary of your test is close. third party cover might be cheaper, you would never get a pay out worth bothering with on an older low val...

if you can get front wings, it is the opposite side from the one you are welding.

I love what you're doing with saving the wedgies and chipped in a bit. Im looking forward to more updates and when one of them does get sold and I haven't found my own to save yet you already have an interested buyer. Best Regards Kira Kira, Welcome to the forum.
