Volvo 340 16v

That Fiero is georgeous. In the 80s and 90s they were popular with people making Ferrari replicas, a sacrilege IMO ...

I'm still up for a RH rear spring bracket John, if you're able to cut it out from your parts 360...

No problem Tom, still haven't cut it out yet as I've been having a tough time of it recently, and it's like -6 in the unit. I will sort it though, need to cart my compresor down to the unit so I can use the power saw on it.

Get the Duke runnin' for pitys sake.

I'll give it a bash, you seriously want it? It's in a bit of a state but it's all there and there's a couple big boxes of spares.

I'm intrested FJ.

However,the advice I got from over the pond was as follows,"they are a money pit in the US never mind the UK".

So on that basis I'll come for a butchers if it runs,otherwise,we'll just be shifting a problem from one river to another.

They look the part that's for sure.

Not too bothered about welding so is it a total mutt??

It will make you more attractive.

To women with large hair and men in tight shorts from the eighties.
Someone should rock this wedge.
Might as well be someone that knows what hes doing.

Cant lose at scrap money surely Sven?

The strut tops are shot and the brakes need rebuilt. Could need all sorts of other stuff but it was in mostly good order with new water pump when it was laid up. I'll have a bit of a go at starting it soon.

[Speedy88]

I touched it. Basically it's awesome until you touch it

That thing is hilariously like a mk1 343. I've never noticed before...

John...will have a chin-wag with you about what else might be for sale when I'm up in a couple of days

I remember those, I used think it was a direct copy of the styling of a Mk 343, if a little smaller. Just look at that nose cone arrangement and the lights! even the name.. 323!

[filthyjohn]

I'm quite tempted actually, what size engine is the mazda? I need to do some research into insurance and stuff.

O RLY? How intriguing... Just give me a bell mate, I'm off work all week.

[trabitom99]

I love old Jap stuff I can imagine the parts situation is even harder than for V300s though ...
