Re: Volvo 340 DL Globetrotter '88
Thoughts on an easy styling of the car don't abandon me long ago. I was engaged in virtual tuning in Adobe Photoshop, few times did the Volvo.
Here that from this it turned out =)
One of my first works
And two more options
Such the car was as soon as left plant gate in Holland...

Re: Volvo 340 DL Globetrotter '88
Don't know, but it's not too heavy (3kg? to 4kg?). Problem sending might be:Maestro_UA wrote:Who knows, the spoiler in kgs how many weighs?
"volumetric weight" or "dimensional weight" = L x W x H (cm) / 5000 (or other amount specified by carrier 4000, 6000)
"out of gauge" or "oversize" = carrier might have a dimension limit such as maximum length 150cm or it might cost more for 150cm - 210cm.

Re: Volvo 340 DL Globetrotter '88
With transfer we have no problems. There is a set of firms which are engaged in transportation of goods across Ukraine =)
Here won't wait in any way when that person will send me)
By mail, which services I often use, to me sent beginning from a radio tape recorder, finishing the block of the D16 engine and the 4th doors for 340 =)
And about weight I asked for this purpose what to choose on what warehouse to me sent a spoiler. One warehouse in 100 meters from the house, but there is accepted by parcels to 10 kg, and other warehouse in 3 km but there restriction on weight - isn't limited.
Laziness - the progress engine =)

Re: Volvo 340 DL Globetrotter '88
I fused desire to buy that spoiler, owner all too long delayed sending and eventually I refused to buy it. At this stage it not the main thing.
I have such problem: brakes became very solid, wheels aren't always blocked. Changed the vacuum servo - the problem was not in it. Pumped over brakes - it became seems better, but not much more. Bought braking fluid, but didn't manage to change it yet.
In what there can be a problem?

Re: Volvo 340 DL Globetrotter '88
I decided to update a subject and to write how Volvo endured winter.
In the winter run made about 750-800 km. There went the car seldom, generally to the village (250 km there and back) on our remarkable equal and direct roads (it is told with sarcasm). For all winter the car was capricious only 1 time — the accumulator from colds sat down.
At any time and temperature the motor was got about a floor of a turn of a key. Still the pleasure at me after a major repair of the engine didn't pass =)
There were 2 visits to car-care center. The bearing of a front nave buzzed.
I bought the bearing in shop. Went to car-care center, 20 minutes of work and I happy left and went home. Pleasure lasted not long, ~ kilometers 50. The rumble again appeared, and from the same party where it was replaced. Thought that that appeared bad. Bought one more.
Called in besides on that car-care center. The car on the hoist. Checked the right bearing (from where the rumble went) — he is silent as the guerrilla.
The master scratched the head, went to the left wheel. It twisted a wheel, and here a trick! The rumble from there goes. All removed that is necessary, and it not in the best condition. Put the new bearing, all twirled and the silence in interior came.
When went home, long couldn't understand: what darling the left bearing published a rumble as though it is right buzzes?)))
Found on the computer some photos to which exactly 1 year =) New yet didn't do as will be - I will throw off surely.

Re: Volvo 340 DL Globetrotter '88
Thank you for the update
I had a car that did the same once. The front wheel bearing rumble where the sound appeared to come from the opposite side to the defective one.Maestro_UA wrote:When went home, long couldn't understand: what darling the left bearing published a rumble as though it is right buzzes?)))

Re: Volvo 340 DL Globetrotter '88
I in 3 weeks will overtake the car to other city on long-awaited body repair. It had to begin in the 2012th, but didn't leave at that person with holiday.
The car worried one more winter. In principle, I didn't find new spots of a rust after washing. Only on 1 threshold this infection and on doors below (a sore point ) was a little bit shown.
In log book of the car in the column "Colour" it is specified "Grey". That color that now doesn't arrange to that it dark and a dust is evident.
I want to choose color is lighter. Somehow time at us in the city I saw (only don't laugh) LADA 2107 (the last releases, 2007-2010) with very beautiful color, here is how it looks
on the sun
when in the cloud sky
Approximately so it will look by car
Bumper as I want to paint color of a body, but to leave that black strip.
Over time for the summer I will take such R15 from 400 series. The spoiler as will be, but later (yet didn't find)
That tell? How to you?
If you know still any color like they are throw off in comments, and its name and a code is desirable.
I will be very glad to all comments, thoughts and offers.
P.S
On 10 liters of the diesel around the city the car passed 187 km, perfectly =)
