WANTED: Parts car or even just some bits and bobs

Cleaned up the garage and found some parts you want to sell? Or are you looking for that one part? You can advertise or request just about anything that has to do with the Volvo 480 in here: brochures, towing-hooks, antenna's, etc etc...

WANTED: Parts car or even just some bits and bobs

Post by cranna21 » Mon Apr 14, 2014 12:24 pm

Hi all,

I'm looking for a passenger headlight unit, i have a smashed lens :( the car's white but id give spraying a bash if you can't just remove and replace the glass, i have no idea only been on here a month or two, looking for a drivers seat belt as the retaining bar thing that stops it falling to the floor when youre not wearing it is broken, it would still go through an MOT but i want it fixed if i can.

Also im ALWAYS on the look out for a parts car (or 2) i'm located in the North east of Scotland, looking for something with a solid (ish) body if possible just in case i need to swap panels, ideally i'd like a facelift with colour coded bumpers, (not fussed on car colour) because then i'd be able to swap bumper sets, mirrors indicators ect however its not compulsory. Anything is considered really but i don't want to spend a fortune on a parts car nor do I want to go hacking away at another good nic 480, if it was cheap and road worthy i would still consider it though whatever trim or engine as my girlfriend's birthday is coming up and she loves my own one so if i can't get a parts car i'd settle for that, any engine, because if i can't insure her on a 2.0 or turbo she could have my ES and i'd take the larger one.

So;
if you have a stock of some parts i could have a rake through somewhere near me then give me a shout!
OR
If you're somewhere in Scotland and you're thinking on passing your own car on to another enthusiast give me a message or post on here, what you got? :)

Thanks in advance!

Hi is this the part you are looking for ?

Image


If it is then I will remove it from the car which is very soon heading to the breakers yard (shown below).

Image

oh please be aware that you can remove the top panel very easily (4mm allen / hex key) so if that part is ok then you only need the headlamp and the frame. Attempts to remove the headlamp from the frame just end in tears as the white brittle spacers die very very easily.
