Mechanically Nessy was always fairly sound and she always drove really nicely. Bodywise she is a complete shed - the door hinge pins are fine though! The interior isn't bad (or wasn't, I don't know what storage has done to her) and may just need a thorough clean.

That's correct, Jay.

I have wings that are straight, Kaos, but they do have some rust on them. Not rusty, as such...but not A1 either.

Dan...you may as well have some brand new boot struts from me. £15/pair. I very much doubt you want the door cards, etc...they're not pretty. If you do...take them. Front valance...assuming you mean the metal panel...if memory serves correctly, it's not brilliant, but it's not actually all that rusty, either. I'll take a look at it when it gets here. Grille...£10?

You've got plenty of time to get saving...this won't be happening for a little while!

cheers

If there's something you need urgently, it won't make it look like a wreck, and won't stop it rolling onto a flatbed...sure.

cheers

Well....I pass down the M5 fairly regularly, so I guess we could sort something out. I have a car to collect from Frome, but it's a one-off.

cheers

Ok where about in frome you picking it up from? Grandparents own a garage at the top of butts hill, which is where the volve used to roll back in its prime as a parts hauler lol.

we talking surface rust yeh? if you are coming down this way soon depending on when as im back to work soon i could probably collect from you if nto im sure jay wouldnt mind holding them for me.

How much do you want for a pair or Just the one for the passenger side as thats the urgent one lol

Post by **foggyjames** » 04 Jan 2009 02:57 pm

Well there's no such thing as surface rust unless the paint has failed. This is 'proper' rust...but you could treat it easily enough. Most now seem to have holes at the rear bottom edge in front of the front wheel, but that can be hidden relatively easily.

£10 each?

cheers

James

Sounds barginous. Could you get me a photo?

sounds spot on though

by jay i meant jeff lol.

What about those 2 other bits? the engine mount subframes.

Post by **foggyjames** » 05 Jan 2009 02:10 am

I can get photos, sure.

Subframes...what about them....price? £10 each? Only because they're a bit of a ballache to remove and keep the car mobile...well...the rear one, anyway

cheers

James, you may have mentioned something about those in Sundern. Are they from Volvo with ball joints that can be removed (so the earth switch for the boot light can be swapped over)? If so, I'd like to put in an order

Ideally:
1x 3342881 for boot lid without spoiler
1x 3344245 for boot lid with spoiler

If you have time to post that is

Cheers

Tom
