Here you can talk about the joy owning a Volvo 480 brings. Non-technical discussions take place here, like what is the difference between an ES and a S version.

After several years of being 480-less member number 0015 is back in the 480 world
Just bought myself a Green 480 Gt Turbo, 1995 with 170K Km on the odometer.
It is a project car, so it does need to have some of the standard stuff done (rust on the rear arches etc), but I have the time so no problem
Any good tips to get parts these days are welcome (need for example to start with already a left light/blinker cluster in white, a front spoiler and the mass connection from the battery to the chassis (I have no clue how they managed to break this one))

This is proof positive (if it were needed) that 480's are an addiction! You got out and here you a few years later back again!
Welcome back!
