Volvo 480 Club Europe

I'm not to fond of the hammerite-trick. Tried it twice now, and it's all looking like a million - until the first Track-day... The plastic-stuff in the hammerite all truns into a darker shade, and becomes like rubber, and brakepad dust will stick to it.

Looking even better than I expected! Especially when grey! - looking kind'a oldschool, a bit like something you'd see on a Amazon.

Another great gain, by having them grey, is that it doesn't draw your mind to compare it with the Gotti-rims you always see on old VW and Opels.

Hammerite and baked 2 hours at 60 Celsius. No dust or brakepad-dust bites on it

It is actually a forum-member who has made them - I'm not sure if he still makes them, or he's closed the buisness.

Thankyou very much!!! Seems like I'm then looking for some Escort-arches - I can modify i little, so this helps very much!

I'm just happy that I don't have to build them from scratch!

Sure you don't want to sell your amp to me? The old M-series of Phoenix Gold isn't that good (ok they are, but I want it :-)). I've once had a M44 4ch amp, and it easely drove a 5 1/4" set of front-speakers and a 12" sub (2ch bridged into 1ohm). The great advantage of the M-series is that you can ap...

No pics, not allowed. 1. car - '93 Pug 405 1.4 estate... Slow as hell.... 2. car - '86 Pug 205 1.6 GTi - quite a bit faster, but should have ended up at the scrapyard som years before... 3. car - '94 Pug 306 1.9 D - slow as hell... 4. car - '94/95 Pug 306 1.9 TD - not that slow, and cheap to run :-)

Not that bad - how many hp's youve got? Just curious

Ofcourse keep a 480! Then you might have an exotic of some sort on the side, but hey - for sure keep a 480

Lucky But, with the code, you then can go to another manufatucrer and get a new set made? There isn't any chip or other eletronics in the key?

The 0.1 amp you probably won't get rid of - as said before, is the ECU and radio - you can try and remove the fuses for the radio, you might see at small drop of amp, but probably won't dissappear entirely. Andreas - do you know any danish 480 forum/pages? I havn't found any volvo-pages except koldi...

Phew cars are cheap to buy and run/maintain in the UK. If I can manage to find a place to restore the 480 I'm looking at, my budget will probably say around 1k£ for the car (in bad condition), and another 2-3k£ for parts - maybe even more when new leather is needed on all seats, and a major pa...

Hello. I'm considering buying a cheap (considered danish prices) 480, wich need quite a bit of work - on the metal-side it primarily the rear arches and sorroundings that is corroded badly. But, I've been looking around on the danish sparepart-dealers homepages, and I cannot find any new reararches....

Dakyy - If your not in a hurry you'll probably sometime see one from my side in a month time, when I have bougt mine, and start to work on it...
But, don't know if I'd start at the enginecompartment or inside hence none electricity is working...

Please don't shoot me.... The two fastest cars I've been driving was a Subaru Impreza GT with about a 350bhp at a trackday, and a Peugeot 206 HDi (trackday as well). - well, I'd go with the Peugeot, wich in no way was standard... But, id put down about a 280bhp and 700+ nm - great fun :-) :-) My gue...

Is there anyone left of the production 5? If there isn't, would it be possible to make 5 new? And furthermore, would shipping to Denmark be possible :-) I have my eyes on a car fitted with the rest of the hausser bodykit (alltough I'm not sure about the rear bumper), which hopefully should be in my ...
