Re: Volvo 340R EVO 3 Update 22/12/09 Cage + dish!!
Cue story about Niblett nearly nutting the windscreen in my 240 when he went to stamp on the clutch (thinking he was in his 740, which at the time had a super-heavy pedal thanks to having the wrong slave cylinder rod in it), and instead stamped...on...the brakes...

Re: Volvo 340R EVO 3 Update 22/12/09 Cage + dish!!
Well front half of the cage turned up this morning, and i bought a new seat and test fitted it with the new steering wheel. Totally transforms the driving position and its no perfect for me once i move gear lever about 30mm closer!!!
Slowly getting towards the end of aquiring parts that i can fit!!! If weather permits cage in next week.

Can't believe you'll have this fitted before I've done mine 
Looks ace though mate, really glad you could get the front bars.

It looks a bit like the rear is used, and the front is new...right?
