Hola,
Had a good Friday, living the retro dream... So I thought I'd share my finds here.
First thing I encountered in a local Volvo specialists was this dog, not really on topic you might think until you see the Volvo hub cap in it's mouth, I swear it was like watching somebody chew on silver foil... Good advert for them though.
Right then, down to business... Then went to see a friend who's stone mason neighbour has just bought two Starions, one to restore and one to break. This is the interior of the breaker. I never realised but the side bolsters fold in and out on a wheel... Saweet. ;D
And here it is, the breaker.
This is the stereo remote control in it, what you can't see is the cable running out of the bottom... Legendary teck-Nickal
This is the one that's going to get restored, just shortly before we bump started it and he did rolling burnouts through the yard
And this is the interior of that one, I'm getting lots of thoughts about stripping off the leather and having them with exposed mechanisms and pads...
Touring with MIMs
Anybody know where you could source a nearside headlamp and indicator for one of these? Oh, and the engine and box from the blue Starion is out and going into this...
Owned by the same guy who's got the Corrola, this has a 323i back end with discs, 2ltr and a five speed conversion as well as lots of rust and those gorgeous turbo arches
This was the scene at my lock up later in the day, E28, Mk2 Capri, Mk2 Transit and Volvo Amazon, but I'll put another thread up as to what we were doing to the Amazon, which sparked all of this activity.
And of course, the obligatory COTW picture... A Volvo Laplander or 'Puppy' ;D
