eBay watch!

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.

Meat Loaf is a good chanter even in the Pick Of Destiny....Kickapoo!

LOL :rofl:

[Meat Loaf (Father)]
You've disobeyed my orders, son,
Why were you ever born?.
Your brother's ten times better than you,
Jesus loves him more.
This music that you play for us comes from the depths of hell.
Rock and roll's The Devil's work, he wants you to rebel.
You'll become a mindless puppet;
Beelzebub will pull the strings!
Your heart will lose direction,
And chaos it will bring.
You'd better shut your mouth,
Better watch your tone!
You're grounded for a week with no telephone!
Don't let me here you cry,
Don't let me hear you moan!
You gotta praise The Lord when you're in my home!

[Jack Black (Son)]
Dio can you hear me?
I am lost and so alone.
I'm askin' for your guidance.
Won't you come down from your throne?
I need a tight compadre who will teach me how to rock.
My father thinks you're evil,
But man, he can.....

ahem that's enough I think :tomato:

Prob won't go for much more at all mate, tbh.

The arches are fubar, but it does have all the right bits on it.

sold for 645, i had a sneaky bid after going to see it but not as high as that

pretty good condition, some nice bits on it like leather seats, digi clock & roller cover

Had the dreaded adjustable boost controller and a cone filter on...was boosting off the past the red on the gauge but not hitting boost cut.

not bad at all though

Yeah think so mate

Like I said it was boosting past the red when I was in it so maybe something went pop...

Just spotted this on eBay, since there's always someone looking for a Turbo. No rust!!! Needs work but I'd have it if I had somewhere to put it.

Why is it stood on sheets of plastic? Maybe to make the scene less like a muddy field....

I was seriously tempted by that one. Only to find when i went to look again it was gone. :cry:
