The green 480 gets some vader gear

Post by martinholmesuk » Sun Feb 25, 2007 7:50 pm

No point scrapping all those nearly new parts so today I changed the shocks/and S links. I will fit the NEW pan rod & long arm things next weekend.

All the parts are faulty so I'm happy my £130 spent at volvo will get some use :D

Old and new

Vader looking good.

Green 480 really did need some new parts!

I also have braided brake lines on the front with new pads.

Theyre called Torque (or Trailing) Arms Roo.

Theyre just over £50 each from Volvo with the bushes in.

I use Braydon Motor Company.Theyre miles cheaper from them,and are also OEM.

Theyre on 0208 252 7285
