I'm supposed to have enough parts ( :oops: never enough), cars (mk2's, mk3's, CVT, GLT...), but there was definitely something missing to pretend to be a real Volvo300maniac...

A 343 mk1! So I fell in love with a lovely 343 Black Beauty from France.
The stayed in a dry place since 1995, waiting for a resurrection!

The body and interior are in very good condition, the engine starts en runs fine.
Of course I'll need to replace all the hoses, put a Mac's quality and shiny carb etc...

I'm just happy! :D

What's the list of BB owners for the moment?
- macplaxton
- Stefan: saved from a scrapyard, great story; the car was sold in 2010, but who owns the car yet?
- In the Netherlands, Wouter Nieuwlaat (RIP) had one
- In Germany, it seems that Wolgang Bock (RIP) also had one

Wicked work - very nice looking car.

I've rotated a couple of you photos by 90 degrees to maximise their awesomeness...

Good job Bogbasic, thanks. It's only a preview issue in my post, when you click on it it's ok, weird.

That's because the car is a real head turner, simply in love with it :D
