upgrade to ABS/TRACKS

Looked but could not find it, anybody retrofitted a '92 with a ABS/Tracks system? Thinking about transferring all the stuff from a GTT to a Twinline/TwoTone

Re: 24 valve 480.....possibly

indeed no way this engine fits in a 480. The picture of the engine bay is not a 480 and the ad also states the engine is a 1700cc, so classical mix-up of pictures.
Would be nice though... :roll:

Re: Seat back adjustment broken

did you already check if the plastic nob itself is not broken? try removing it (remove the plastic in the centre and with a nr10 you can remove it from the seat)

Re: Central door locking

I actually once made it work on both sides by: * installing a motor in the driver side door (because if I'm not mistaken (remember correctly) there is by default no motor in the driver side door) * adjusting the motor in the passenger door (adding the switches inside the motor) * pulling a bunch of ...

Re: 480 GT Build Numbers

Well, the VIN is just a sequential sequence of build numbers. I've no Idea if volvo built the 250 GT's in one batch or not. Don't think it really matters. The identifiers of the GT are: The hand painted leather interior, vesa alloys, and the red (322) or green(321) metallic paintwork http://www.unp...

Re: Rear inner bumper parts drawings/availability

Ok fair enough, a rusty one is also not helping, however if yo put something else you would like to be sure it is at least of the same quality (preferably better...
