Well obviously its not an MOT failure, but the hole is about 3"x1" and right through both skins, so you can see into the boot!!

So if it's still available i'd like it please.

Eventualy i too will probably be getting round to this conversion, but one query i have is thus.

Is there anyway it can be done and still retain the heaters, because imho they are one of the best features of my car, but then i'm used to cars without them at all!

What should i pay for....

Rear pop out windows and all associated parts for a 3dr.
Not new but all in good working order, are they rare at all, or are they more hassle than they are worth, i.e leaks etc?

Sorry for all the Q's :roll:

Cheers for the replies gents. I maygo bigger than 13's but i don't think the one above looks too bad at all. It's also down to cost tbh, because i was thinking of going for some brand new Wellers, but from what i gather on the website they now only manufacture them in 13's, unless anyone knows diffe...

I'm new to these 300's, but in general running on 3 cylinders would probably mean the timing is out no?

Well i thought with one of these old Volvo's , i get no problems at all, however on my way to my GF's tonight i got a tug from the fed's. They were amicable enough , but it was all down to the slackness of the DVLA. I'm not a pleb, so therefore don't drive illegal car's , however i tax'd my car over...

Cheers for that Ronnie. What size are the Wellers on car in pic? Yep, thats low enough for me, admitadely my 1960 Beetle is lower, but thats mainly for fun, whereas the Volvo is meant to be my sensible everyday car, but already looking to slam it, with future plans for the Renault 16v lump!? I'll pr...

Wheel sizes + How low?

Hi all i'm new to this 300 lark, see my thread in general section, maybe you can answer some of my other questions? I've just bought a 340DL 3dr, and what i want to know is this, how low can i go, probably with 13" wheels, and still get over the rapidly multiplying massive speedbumps in my area? Als...

Hi Carl, yep the 5 turbo finaly sold, woohoo, but the step down in performance is rather significant :D It's a Greg 89, so not sure if VDO dash or not, will look tomo. Yes it is a carb model, and to be fair i had been throwing it round corners fairly hard, so that may explain the fuel smell.! Lastly...
