Yeah... I've read some where than the m40 is weaker than the m400 but if I don't push it to it's limits it maybe be ok for a while... The doors maybe plug & play but then again I think that the windscreen and rear window are diferent because of it's curvature... I will use some of the door window rails of my volvo 340 on my volvo 164 since they are in bad shape... And since I'm at it I'll put the radio, a volvo cr-901 with external amplifier and 4 volvo speakers that came with the 340 on the 164 like the seats I did before... I'd love to get those volvo 164 parts from your spare car but you are a bit far for my taste but I would love to go there but in the summer since I'm frezzing here and it's only 0ยบ and there is far way cooler and I don't like it. You live really close to the volvo headquaters in Goteburg and you could find parts faster and cheaper... The car in the post up was already sold but I'm looking for one with a diesel engine so I could make some tripps... Did you found out what engine has the spares car and if you are selling the exhaust manifold??

I have plenty of time because I've got to get the car ready for the ''MOT'' and it hasn't been painted yet so maybe another year for that then I might need it, but it is a great motivator... ;D The volvo 244 D6 is long gone but I found something a bit better, a '76 Volvo 245 DL with LPG already instaled... It looks good but it needs a bit of work. Has some rust bubbling on the bonnet and rear arches and I guess the front doors too but I've got to see her live for more acessements... And the best part is that she already has a towhicth... ;D

Seeing as you asked me for advice on my own thread, i don't feel so bad posting this here, but....
That car is rusty. Very rusty! The rear wings look full of filler, as do the doors, and the sills could be made of anything!
Check it all over very carefully for signs of filler - floors (especially fronts near jacking point), the scuttle panel, the rear tailgate sill, spare wheel wells and wheel arches. Also fold the rear seat down and check the floorpan below where the chassis rail is spot welded underneath - common super-rot spot on estates.

Steve Sorry for posting on your thread but you're welcome to post here anytime... Thanks for the intel... Since these a bit rare around here, doesn't pay any tax and come with lpg already fitted, I might give it a go but only if it's not too rusty..- Let's see if I can find the time to go there to look at her to see if it's salvagable if not I could always make an offer afterall she still has ''MOT'' till june next year... Thanks again steveandhis244...
