Rough turbo on ebay

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.

I thought I recognised the reg…..

Turbo Passion

Which is strange as I asked about this car in the above thread not so long ago. Where is it now I asked? Guess I have my answer.

At its peak it looked amazing.

With wheel arches that bad, you can bet the rear bumper has nothing but rust behind it and the underside won't be a pretty sight either. Sadly, this one is likely to be too far gone for us to rescue. It would be nice to think someone would be brave enough to save it but I anticipate it being broken. :cryhard: Every cloud has a silver lining - let the Renault boys have the engine and that's one less person in the running for for the next savable turbo that comes up. Now, who wants a nice half leather interior ?

Was on the Facebook group last night and I corrected her. Funnily enough she didn’t “like” my comments.

Such a shame that it wasn’t saved sooner as it did look well looked after.
