Hi all
I got my 480 of ebay for £150 as it is a cat c wright off. all it needs is a new bumper on the front but the cost to get it all fixed and get the vic test done so it can go back on the road would cost alot more than buying a good taxed and moted 480
as I run Back in Black drag racing team we said we should race it for fun as its to good to brake or send to the scrap yard. this way it will spend the rest of its life being pampered and used for fun by the race team.
as its a 1.7 its not the fatest car out there and as volvo made it so well there is alot of waight
so we have stated to strip it down and as the back end has alot of glass we said why not make it into a pick up truck to save even more waight. it will not snap as we made a roll cage for it.
all of our race cars well most of them are painted black. thats how we got our name Back in Black Racing. so when the 480 is all done it will get a nice coat of satin black.
I know some people will hate me for what I have done but I was not the guy that smashed the front end up and I am saving it from the scrap yard.
480's are very good and fun cars and this is being made for fun at santa pod
if you are going to santa pod keep a eye out for me and the team.
next time I am down the lock up I will get lots of pics for you
