Well guys here is my new ride which I picked up today! Ive really missed having a 240 since I sold my 245GL nearly 2 years ago.
Some of you may know/recognise it as I bought it off eBay and it does have RR stickers in the rear windows?
Anyway after a 5 hour trip down to Ipswich from Scarborough to collect the beast and another 5 hours home of completely hassle free motoring apart from the constant roof rack whistle I'm dead happy.
Shes good condition for age with a couple of rust blebs so only needing light work. She is 23 years old though so its expected. Interiorwise Ive already changed the MOMO wheel for a Nardi wheel which I found in a local scrapyard and paid £3.60 for! The leather seats are really nice but lean to the middle a bit which they all do so I'm not sure weather to keep them in or store them away for safe keeping and sue some Rover 800 recaros I have.
She has already been lowered 40mm with Kilen springs and Monroe dampers which is a real bonus to my project.
My plans are to add some Volvo upper strut braces, DVS lower braces and replace the entire engine and autobox for a T5 engine with manual box along with whatever else takes my fancy ;D
Anyway here are some pictures!

Already got dibs on a Volvo 960 sump, pickup pipe and engine mounts, found an engine but I just need the cash for it.
