Re: Volvo 480 Turbo (Bodykit) - FOR SALE
LHD to RHD
I would imagine full dashboard replacement
brake master cylinder and associated assembly
headlamps
would want to swop over the speedo but not essential
replacement behind dash wiring loom
height adjustment "kit" for the drivers seat.
swop over the relays box ?
the steering would either need to be truned 180 degrees or replaced by a rhd one
pray that it is not aircon or cruise control
ask for a photo of the engine bay as that will tell you a lot of what else is needed to be done
oh and replace the RHS sun visor
hows that for starters

Well my question was hypothetical, however Jims list should be enough to put anyone off the idea. Doable, but not for me

Re: Volvo 480 Turbo (Bodykit) - FOR SALE
On the map I think Durham Tees Valley the closest airport, but in reality that is an awful airport with poor transport links, where you need to pay for the privilege of having all of your belongings searched.
Newcastle is better e.g. has a train connection to the city centre and the staff are more used to dealing with travellers, but anyway if the plan comes to fruition I would drop you at the airport of your choice ….pm’d

As a displaced Geordie, may I add that you can now fly seriously cheap from Stansted to Newcastle with FlyBe. You may then be able to link your man up with a flight from Stansted more easily.

You can't resist the urge.
Life is just boring without a 480 screwing things up!

Nah, if I was I'd be smoking around in my Capri
My Celeb would stand a better chance of survival also.
You're more than welcome to practice on those
To be fair though, that rust doesn't look all that bad, although maybe because I'm viewing on the phone.
