GOOD BUY
Really looks great!

BTW what's the different between redline, blueline (and any other lines) except in lines , from the classic Volvo series ?
Do they have more equipment, some upgrades...etc....?

Now only i need to get a Volvo in my property .....

Well for 10 Euros you can't grumble. Looks like you'll be starting on the dusty interior next! From what I can see the all important rust looks to be at bay for the moment. Get it cleaned up and dry, then crack out the Dinitrol and make sure the rust doesn't have a chance!

Not bad at all. What are the mechanical bits like, it runs ok, as I know the chap was towing it to you?

Oh and the Redline didn't really get much in the way of upgrades sadly, just the pimp red piping on the seats, the red insert in the bumpers, some graphics, a GLT grille surround, and GLT front valance trim and the 13" alloy wheels.

The Blueline also got the econ and ambient temp gauges as well as the other parts in blue not red and seem to be harder to find.......

Pete

its enough to make a grown man cry brings back memories

What's the story on the RHD car with french plates, germ? (just being nosy)

Good deal for 10 Euros ...

to trabitom99 its a english guys car he bought it to france when he moved i think his father gave it to him for the move to bring stuff over.
he stayed in france and had it nuberplated for france any one can do that but you must change head lights and fill in lots of forms and hope they accept . but they didnt accept are bmw 2002

"What are the mechanical bits like, it runs ok, as I know the chap was towing it to you? "


well mechanics seem ok i have the service history (full) from 1988 its done 122.000 miles its had two cam belts done , it will need it doing again at 140,000 and it came with a spare belt the engine runs ok needs oil change and stuff ITS ABIT OILY AND VERY DUSTY!!

IT Needs a new clutch it does not drive atall so i am looking for a cheap 1

it came with hayns manual and owners manuals



i didnt know the 360 had the gearbox in the back too :S


if theres any thing else you would like to know ask

Cheers
will

DOES ANY ONE KNOW WHERE I CAN GET A CHEAP CLUTCH FROM???

Cheap but new

Cheers
will

No

Seriously, they crop up on E-bay, occasionally, but unless its Sachs, Valeo or original Volvo, stay away. The amount of effort and time changing it, not worth putting in a cheapy one which will wear in 5 minutes and probably judder to heck whilst doing so.

Thanks Pete.... i was confused with those series, and i have never seen any of those here....just classics of 340-343-345 and 360.

Welcome to the select band of Redline owners!

10 Euros. Can't grumble at that, can you?

Great bargain !! hehe... Congrats !!!

Thanks no i cant moan at all i couldent buy any sort of car here for less then 300euros and that would be a shell
any way i am in process of cleaning engine and interior

I have changed oil (it will be changed again when clutch is done its only to help clean it out)
and filter i have put a inline fuel filter in (freeflow)

I still must do exhaust ,clutch,

spark plugs (which it came with allso New ) timing belt plug leads Maybe head gasket (just for fun)

then i have my new radio to put in , i have to buy new speakers and put my special REDLINE SEAT BELT COVERS!!

then sort out a couple of rust spots and dents then a good wash and wax (not carwash)

AND ITS TOTALY COOL!!

What rpm should it run at when warm as it runs at 500RPM and it doesent seem happy it moans and is a tiny bit lumpy once its raised to 800 its fine.

Should i adjust the idle to 800RPM?


Cheers
