Volvo 480 Club Europe

The 28th would be better for me. It gives me more time to sort R3s issues so I can attend in it.

that looks a really good buy D C.

faults so far: White pinstripe on black bumper Centre console (Phone kit removed) Leather (may be an option in that year I believe, but then doesn’t exactly look like 13k miles leather) White dots on steering wheels Ejector seat buttons Aftermarket sunroof Dubious "injection" stickers Ford Ghia Bad...

I have used AUTODOC twice recently for callipers and wishbones for my celebration,not the quickest for delivery but pretty good value.

Sylvia if they have the hoses I am after on the Leominster car please snap them up for me. Cheers Norman.

Now sorted.

Hi all.a nice friendly person has hit my near side door mirror and driven off!. Have managed to tape it back together as a temporary measure but am in need of another.it’s for a 1988 ES so an early one if anyone can help.cheers Norman.

Looking really good. As you say almost a full respray . I am planning on a trip down to Oulton
Broad on the 20th of February so if the car is ready and Dc is good to go then I will give him a lift. I owe him a few favours and it will be good to catch up with you and Al. Cheers Norman.

plus we tend to dissect a lot of for sale posts here.....

Your right! Did you have any more contact re the £11,000 wedge?

Hey Norm, you may need to clarify which engine you have to get the right one. Early cars have an oval throttle body; later ones circular; and maybe other variations depending on pipes and sensor. Can you put your VIN number up? Thanks James. It’s for R3 which is a 1988 1.7 na the earliest engine I ...

Many thanks for reply and offer.I can get both from the Netherlands but am trying to source in the UK initially to avoid dreaded import duties. Cheers Norman.

Hi all I need the two pipes marked with white crosses if anyone can help?

Welcome to wedge ownership and the friendliest club on the web. Good luck with the car and happy motoring.

Thanks for much for all the quick replies... Rather than multi quote, I'll just reply to all here. I've plenty of room out front in the drive but the main space free is right in front of the living room window so a carcoon wouldn't pass the family test! They don't share my passion for old cars.... ...

Oh come on, we have to go and see it!

This should be good! Can’t wait for the verdict

Happy new year to all in wedge world,fingers crossed for a Covid free year and a long awaited get together

As promised there is a piece on R3 in classic car weekly today. Hoping it will promote some interest in the rescue cars

Great post Jeff. I have used something like this with the thirty or forty odd cars I have owned,except of course when it comes to the wedge, heart has always ruled head unfortunately. I even acquired one without even seeing a picture of said car!

Well done Ben I really enjoyed this. There is also a possibility that Classic Car Weekly will be doing a piece on the rescue cars,here’s hoping.
