well she's home, 120 mile round trip by train and car.





needs a good clean and service.







dent needs sorting.

Looks very tidy especially inside.

Get some back to black or auto glym gl on those bumpers

[poprodder]

the volvo has had a wash and quick polish, looks a whole lot better.















genuine miles. with full mot history.



new sounds, old tape player was completely knackered.



seller had a new battery fitted last weekend as he did'nt trust the one on there,
looking at picture now it looks like nothing is holding it down!!!!





power!!!!!!! lol



oil leak needs investigating.



looks like a new rad is needed, no doubt the cause of temperature gauge rising on way home.

need to do something with them bumpers as well!!!!! look terrible.

Ignore luke. 'Back to black' is shit and only briefly covers the problem. Get a hot air gun on the bumpers and theyll look good as new. Then you can treat them periodically to keep them fresh

[360beast]

I tried a hot air gun on the golf bumpers and they faded again after a few months, used auto glym bumper gel and again it fades after a few months so I gave up in the end and now have half black half grey bumpers but not my problem cause I am breaking the hitler mobile now.

PS Needs a rev counter and a set of 480 alloys.

Battery fixing is on the foot of the battery, not over the top, so you wouldn't expect to see it in that photo.

Look engine side of the battery for a strip of metal with 2 10mm nuts

I use tyre foam and Dashboard wipes on my bumpers and that works quite well!

thanks, but bumpers are painted with satin black paint.

one down, three more to go(finish as started them!!!) needs a bit of lowering and could do with different tyres, but these will have to do for the back at the moment.















will need to paint them axle ends!!!!! look terrible. i've already painted the spigot rings black.

[poprodder]

wheels finished, just waiting on front tyres,



also lowering blocks made for rear.
