With that and all the shit that was on them i feared the worst but they turned out smart. A good soak in the parts wash, a little scrub, some POR metal prep and a coa...

Re: Duchess The Volvo 340 CVT

If youre POR15'ing stuff. Its advisable to use their marine clean and metal prep solutions for the best adherence.... the metal prep is really quite noxious and the paint itself is a right bastard to get off your skin

Re: Duchess The Volvo 340 CVT

Oh shit. Didnt realise it was 360 specific. Is it just a case of swapping out the bar? If so, ive got a vario rack in bits

Re: Duchess The Volvo 340 CVT

Not sure why one hub has a flat bit. Both of my sets are like that. Parts haul looks good, should go back together nicely once youve refreshed a few more bits

Re: Project Restore and Modify

John Bradley-West is driving and is that Seann Walsh in the back? I though it might be Kit Harrington but i doubt the Nights Watch have a fleet of volvos to take on the white walkers

Keep us posted, she looks like a good'un

Re: 1.7 into a 1.4 advice?

The 1.7 wont destroy the gearbox anymore than the 1.4 will ... it depends more on how you intend to drive it. If you want the tail out everywhere you go youre likely to break something

Fix the 1.4 or go for an F7, it sounds like you have most of the bits youd need
