Hi

Just thought I'd post my motor. Owned for 2 year's and took a lot of time and money, blood, tears, you know what these old cars do to you lol.

I bought her as a project after selling my Capri. Needed some welding to the floor pan and sill. I've fitted all new brake's and lines at the rear, Vitesse front brake system which is better with vented dics and 4 pot calipers, spax shocks, Vitesse ride height, Vitesse spoilers, new leads and plugs , radiator, track control arms, polybushes, thermostat, refurbished wheels, Dunlop tyres, changed the interior to a colour that matched the lbody as it was light blue interior, got a dash that matched from a 2ltr without the wood as not my thing, k&n filters inside the original sd1 air box, sorted many electrical gremlins (surprise surprise BL car with electrical issues)

Have 4 branch headers to fit, window tints to be done and a respray in the spring.

How she looked when, looking tired and like the car she was, an elderly couples that was used more for a relaxing drive than anything else before sitting in a garage for years.

Thanks. Yeah that's my mates. He loves his Volvos. He also has a 59 (I love the 59) and 61 caddy and a Fiat 130 right hand drive.
