Actually, this is the outcome of a dutch TV-show, similar to MTV´s "Pimp my ride". So sad that they couldn´t do any better, that it may represent the general opinion about the 340 :(

It was definitely the last time I watched that show.

That car is really horrible, i saw it in real life on the Volvo Classic Fair. Didn't really know what it was doing there :-S. It was on the incredible lame dutch copy of pimp my ride. Pimp my ride is cool in some way, but what they do on the dutch show is absolutely stupid. Just look at it......

I liked what they did to an old Opel. But in general, it really does suck big time.

This car is still driving around, the owners live a few streets away. Looks nice, white leather inside etc.

Here's me (for some reason, in my dressing gown outdoors) with my pride and joy.

1) Yes, I have a long head. :p
2) Yes, I always look like a gimp on photos. I mean, look at my face!!

mmm.. mk2 chrome or in some places moss :P

That thing'll look 10x better with the alloys on and a tcut :) By the way Hugh I forgot to say, the GLT grille I found has slight damage, cracked slightly around the frame and one of the small fins of vertical plastic has broken - though it was hard to tell unless you looked close.

Oh yeah.. GLT bumper has no stripes on it too... but I think that looks better without :) Thought of a name yet? :)

I think that my car is same colour, or it was until I did some polishing and waxing 8)
But that car in picture is not very good shape, I think it would loose licence plates in here if police comes.
Little hard work and it would be just like new.
