1995 480 Turbo

Cleaned up the garage, found parts laying around, but it turned out to be a complete Volvo 480? If you want to sell your car (480 only) you can place an advert here.

Not trying to be a smart-ass or anything but I notice some gaps in the panels of the nose-cone/left pop-up on that 480 advertised on car and classic. Also the list of repairs would point to a front-end shunt. I would know considering I've had one myself! Just an observation, I'm probably wrong...

It would be great if we had a pic of the engine bay. The 480T is a performance car after all ;)
