breaking 1995 celebration

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...

breaking 1995 celebration

Post by nick_ovlov » Tue Jun 26, 2012 1:44 pm

hi folks,

i have my spares car- celebration number 54 in white for breaking. as it is i've just about got everything i want off the car for myself so it just remains to get the rest gone and my dad wants it out of his back garden!!

Already gone-
front bumper
bumper member
fog lights
high beam lights
indicators/ drls now on ebay
seatbelt arms
passenger door pocket
pop up lights im hanging onto as spares


still on the car is a fair bit though, including the complete B20F

4 cetus alloys in good overall condition, only one badly kerbed.
leather interior. very good condition bar a 1 pence sized hole in drivers bolster
middle and rear exhaust looks to be fairly recent- still has stickers on it.
message me on her for any wants! I live in Aberdeen away from home so will be at the car this weekend to remove any bits, and potentally every weekend thereafter.

many thanks

Have you stil got the rear struts for tail-gate?
mine are a bit 'low' in pressure
what is style of interior? Mine is half leather and drivers heated seat is not heated so SWAMBO might be interested?
and maybe the exhaust, tail section on ours is 'fair'

hi there,
infocentre and cluster in good working order

the rear struts are OK as in they hold the lid up but only just. you can have them for post cost if you want!

interior is the celebration two tone grey/black leather- rear seats mint. passenger very good and drivers is good but with a 1p sized hole on backrest

back box is very good.

Please could PM me re the cost of the Cluster / info centre. There's a couple on eBay but I'd rather buy a known working one from a 2.0 ! I guess postage will be £10 or £15

Thanks

I am in Aberdeen, our rear struts sound in same condition!! ie they 'just' hold the hatch up but first puff of wind and the hatch hits you as you lift out the shopping! :-)

I can't get a phot of our seats to let you see if they are the same as SWAMBO is up at her folks in Forres this week. can you send a photo as those sound 'similar' colourings? but does the bum warmer still work? I guess I can wait, MoT this week coming (gulp) should be oK as replaced all brake pipes last week-end

Alan my spares car is at my dads... mundole just outside forres! but im not home. if its any use i could see if my dad would be in to let you see the seats. or even failing that could be easy for pickup should you decide to go for them

ill PM a photo of my good car's seats as they are the same style. interesting you are in Aberdeen. My 480 is my one and only car through here. I live down on mearns street near union st. I'm amazed ive never seen you going about- what kind/ colour of 480 do you have? we must meet up sometime even just for me to do a photoshoot of two 480s together!

Ah, don't forget that mine used to roll through Aberdeen too!! :D

If you hadn't taken your eye off the ball Nick, we could've done a shoot when I picked Nipper up! :(
