Congrats!

Huge project like the 480 was or a short-term-repair and quickly-drive-again-project?

Hey. :)

The car is in very good condition, but of course there are always some flaws which has to be repaired, renewed, fixed, etc. :)
I will start it in this winter, until then just drive and enjoy. :)

Hi! :)

Well we had, I put about 5000km in the car during the summer, lots of nice driving without any major problem.. I love it! :)

But I had to realize that I wont be able to live without a 480. I would not buy one myself, because I already have problem to store properly the C70 in winters, but when my father mentioned me that he would buy a small, good car for little money to drive around sometimes in his retired days, I knew that aint over! 1.7 or 2.0L, no turbo, sunroof for sure. And now I can feel, it starts again, this dark illness, which will turn me miserable and broke, but I dont care, I want it, already started planning how will I fix it up, purchase the factory extras which are missing, hunt down a set of Vega rims which I always wanted, the many other things I can muck about.. muhahahahahahaaaa.... :crazy:

And by the way, how is the family? and the car? I hope you will give me a ring if you think about selling it.. ;)
