Volvo 480 Club Europe

The rear ones are harder because the bolts ends up under the car, and there they become very rusty. You can see them sticking out through the floor.

Got the Austin Maestro ones for £20-surely worth a try for that price? Even 440/460 ones are hard to come by, which is why after 2 years I went for these! FOR SALE!!! :P Hard?? They are fitted on every 440/460, there are tons of these cars at my local scrapyards. :wink: Yeh, there are tonnes at ...

FOR SALE!!!

Hard?? They are fitted on every 440/460, there are tons of these cars at my local scrapyards.

Yes it's Pictor rims, and no, they now have a green striping around the edge, same color as the car.

Right now I'm waiting for my 40mm lowering springs as it sits way too high for the moment.

Well well, as I'm to lazy after one and a half week I think I'll just post an URL with some pictures. Still have to take some pictures of the car finished with all the bits on again.

The 440 skirts are quite nice if you make the three pieces become one whole skirt. Shouldn't be too much work.

I think i'll do it.

Where can I mount an extra water temp sensor for an extrenal gauge?

I think I've got a ground/earth-problem on my -89 Turbo.

When I turn on my long range lights (pop-ups), ALL wipers come on, including the rear.

Still available?

Thanks for enlighting me.

A richmod? What? what is that? Bleedvalve?

I was going to post som pictures but the spamfilter on the forum said no.

Hello my 480-friends! In 2004 I sold my old 1987 480 ES and got myself a 1989 Saab 9000 Talladega. I was tired of my 480 that I had had for over 3 years and I wanted something more powerful!
