Gearbox gone on Turbo. NOW BREAKING

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...

Gearbox gone on Turbo. NOW BREAKING

Post by spree » Mon Apr 21, 2014 1:22 pm

Well after the horror of somebody doing a hit and run on my drivers wing a few weeks back I now only seem to have one gear on the Turbo and the gearbox emits a burning smell...so as I have another car/moneypit that now needs attention I'm having to part ways with the 480. :-(

I know I could get £150 for it if I just take it in for scrap but I thought I would give you guys a chance to have a look at it in case somebody wanted to buy it for more then that as a whole or if enough people wanted specific parts then I guess I could break it. Although I am super busy right now.

Anyway here are the last pictures I took of it a few weeks ago.

Such a shame :(

I MAY have a good auto 'box in a few weeks, if I decide to convert my turbo to manual, if you'd be interested?

If you end up breaking it, I may be interested in the interior.

I really can't justify spending any money on the car. If I were to keep it I would consider a manual conversion myself actually or stick a lower ratio gearbox on it..that would be fun! But I can't, it's been great but all things must come to and end. (CUE SAD AND THOUGHT PROVOKING MUSIC)

I now have a guy in Portugal that wants me to send him quite a few bits so it looks like I am now breaking the car.

If anybody wants any specific parts then let me know.

The only parts gone so far are: Stereo, right rear cluster, ariel, poss interior to Steve

All other reasonable parts available although I don't have a lot of time right now to be taking difficult bits off.

The left hand cluster has a crack in it (gutted, only tapped it with a bit of wood whilst things to the dump) but it doesn't leak. The centre section is very good.

PM me a price for the centre section then please.

I was after a set to recondition, I already have a R/H (I think) but if yours is cracked I think I'll leave it.

As for the interior, give us a price for me to mull over.

I've ended up with the cream leather stuff that Jim had a while ago. I need to fit some of it to see if I like it. If not, I may take you up on yours.

Oh, price on the spoiler too for a laugh! ;)

Cheers,

Yes I plan on removing them for sure and getting ok money them as they break very easily and like hens teeth now. I'm talking like £20 a side. I'm very confident i will get that or more on eBay.

I need the cash for my other car resurrection!

So basically what I'm saying is that I want £20 a side for them or they are going on ebay with the rest of the parts.
