I thought I wrote the mileage, I guess not, the mileage is 67,900

Cheers

Nope, £2000 is the asking price

Thanks

I know, it was my intention to add more information of course, I have just been rather busy with work for awhile, including the entire bank holiday weekend, this is the first chance I've had to sit down properly. :D I MOT'd the car on Wednesday (27/04), and it sailed through with no advisories. It h...

Apologies for the broken photos, I've been having troubles trying to post them (with smaller thumbnails) over the past couple of days http://postimg.org/image/gowyby4k1/full/ http://postimg.org/image/h4zsfeys1/full/ http://s32.postimg.org/mvkv8hnyt/Substandard_Full_Size_Render_2.jpg Here's the links...

Hello everyone, Is anyone interested in purchasing my father's 480 Turbo automatic? :D http://s32.postimg.org/cfs89s1at/IMG_3821.jpg http://s32.postimg.org/j9k5gi0et/IMG_3838.jpg http://s32.postimg.org/mvkv8hnyt/Substandard_Full_Size_Render_2.jpg [/url] These are a couple of photos I took of her whe...

Sorry to revive such an old thread

But I was wondering if these are still available? As my celebration is nearing completion and these would look fantastic on it!

There is a great FAQ page about that. :wink: http://www.volvo-480-europe.org/volvo480/faq/faqitem.php?article=faq/30/display/replacement_instrument_panel http://www.volvo-480-europe.org/images/faq/infocentre/typelist_years.jpg Every PCB from a 2.0L will fit as they are all VDO 734, for every 480 fr...

Ah that M reg one looks like a massive shunt, the sort of car you 'could' repair if you had another doner for the front end for and were a dab hand with a MIG welder and maybe a spot welder? BUT probably not able/allowed to put back on road anyway as insurance would have had a marker on it as it lo...

Luckily, I still have the black ES donor car so I still have the entire shell! Albeit not for much longer, I may just have to remove the windscreen and rear windows and cut through the A, B and C pillars and retain the entire roof section, it's good to know it's not impossible, especially being a no...

I managed to exceed the mininum post count :hopping: so for the beauty of it, here are some pictures... http://i1308.photobucket.com/albums/s613/volvo480gt/DSC_1309_zpsjwmm4bqq.jpg http://i1308.photobucket.com/albums/s613/volvo480gt/DSC_1310_zpsy3phyt2n.jpg Absolutely beautiful! :hopping: And the c...

It will soon be coming out of a 95 Celebration, I'll have to have a look when I take her out

Damn :( So I suppose it has many spot/plug/whatever welds in and all of them would have to be drilled out to remove the roof? Is it still an easy /crazy-but-do-able job? Or is it ludicrously bonkers? I read early today while looking some Hungarians done it to a Mondeo, and even here a guy retrofitte...

Sounds mental but I'm sure I read it on here. Jim?

GLUED?!

I hope that's true! That would make my life a lot easier!!!

I may well have a whole spare instrument cluster if you're interested?

Okay, so it sounds pretty crazy :wall: But how hard would it be? :tomato: http://s14.postimg.org/ne00qa3nl/IMG_3088.jpg http://s14.postimg.org/4vvo61lvl/IMG_3090.jpg The only difference as far as I can tell between the sunroof and non-sunroof car is the 'shelf' that it sits on and bolts to...unless ...

17/11/15 I apologise for the long delay in writing, I've been so busy at work on the graveyard shift, and the rest of my time has been spent recovering and stripping the other 480! http://s10.postimg.cc/9h56jwu1l/IMG_2937.jpg http://s10.postimg.cc/il3lkcvmh/IMG_2939.jpg The car looked truly beautifu...

Why not repair the crash damaged one with the front from the maroon one? and if you want it still to be #89 of 480 then a quick change of number plates/respray/id etc and sorted :-) My dad and I did decide that if the black one was in much better condition we were going to get that one back going i...

27/10/15 Bought an M reg ES off of eBay for spares! 250 for the whole car! :D and it's only done 51000 miles, it's a little accident damaged, but there will be plenty of parts I'll have off of it! The rear lights, some of the trim, the interior trim as some of mine is broken, the mud flaps, the whee...

26/10/15 Had a productive weekend! Preparing the car to be welded up to get rid of the dreaded rust that's had a good go at attacking it! I also removed the rear seats to have a good clean under them - found a cool £1.20 down there :wink: As I began removing the rear trim, and removing the boot rubb...

Excellent! Thanks a lot! I'll drop him a line

I've just bought a whole car for spares for 250 so these will seal those shiny lights a treat!
