Re: 1990 Turbo Auto
Who needs food anyway, really?..... So, he’s had some good jobs done earlier this year. Next up is all round discs and pads and rear hubs that came after the man had done all the work. That’s in for April. Then he’ll go in for MOT on May 1st to maintain a warmer anniversary date! Let’s hope all work...

Re: 480 Wheels = controversy!
1. Vega - Lovely big fat clean-ness. A wide, tidy, plain design. 2. Pictor - Go-faster wheels! I do like how they look on. 3. Pollux - Traditional, classic. Suit the car. Bearing in mind I’d probably never change wheels! I’m not keen on the Antares/Cetus but I guess they might look right on the righ...

Re: £5k for a really rough 'film prop' 480
^^^^ that ^^^^^ I hate people asking “what’s it worth” For insurance purposes it’s irrelevant because they’ll ignore anything you say. For selling it’s about finding the right person at the right time. Case in point, KGF celeb. And don’t forget; me! 🙋🏻♀️😁 💸 That’s the truth. If you are lucky enoug...

Re: Very Very clean one on C&C, 21k miles
Hi everyone - new member alert! And joined after seeing this advert on eBay and doing some research into the car! I was attracted but put off by the fact that he probably got this car for £4K and threw a grand at most and some elbow grease into it!! While the wording is complete flannel and doesn’t...

I like how he’s talking about it like it’s been his from new.

Re: Subframe - Hull
I either missed that completely or he's just added it.
If I hadn't just bought a rabbit I would probably be interested in this.... Rabbit or subframe? One will have to be given up.

Re: Oh look, another high price
Nice. If I sell mine, the US market is the first place I'd look. So it has a life (hopefully) in a warmer climb. Applications from south of Tennessee only. :rofl: I've looked into it previously. With regards to methods of shipping and prepping and taxes etc. I even contacted the US VOCA but never go...

I love that we have 6,437 different front lighting combinations to choose from.
Looks lovely. Like all of us; your dad is probably very much looking forward to this spring time!

Re: Rear Torque rods
I ordered From Skandix in early January and although postage is now 60 euros and not 18, it was still sent via DHL tracked and was here in 3 or 4 days as before. Polar Parts are the next option but just checking their store and getting a shipping estimate at checkout, it now says will not ship to UK...

Re: any celebrations for sale
I know Chris Wickers at the Volvo Owners Club is selling his celeb. Again, it would be dependent on budget I guess. This one is currently SORN and mot just ran out but he plans to get it MOT’d once sold as he’s not going to use it, so the new owner gets the best of the time. It will have been well c...

Is everyone still waiting for the replacement book/s?
I paid on 10th December and I've not got anything yet. Am I thinking right; that he is having a whole new run printed to correct the 'pages falling out' errors?

Lovely to see it all clean, isn't it! Did you give up on splash panels or did you manage to get any to use in the end? (is that the black peeking over the disc...I can't tell!)

Re: Passenger side Wing Mirror wanted please.
There is a (I'm pretty sure...) 1993 white ES at T. Stone, past Beverley.
The guy is really nice but may forget you've asked! He'll take it off and send it to you for a good price.
I'll DM you his details.
