1986 Volvo 340 with accesories

I didn't have any holes in the valence for Kar, but if you look there is space in the panel behind, so cut holes when I took the valance of to de rust it (its a pain in the a*se to get off, spot welded every 3 in)

As for the grill lights, they are not part of the MOT, and should only be on when the main beam is on. I'm currently (when I get round to it) changing mine so I can have main beam on without the grill, for rally purposes, so I can drive quiet zones with main beam still.

As for setting, as they come on with main beam, it's where you want, so I have both Kar's and Fakes set above main beam, so I can see I LONG way away

I also have Kar's spots set a tad higher than standard (not much, else they are useless when it actually is foggy, you need to not see the glare in the fog)

I don't think I'd like to drive a 300 without fogs - it made quite a big difference on the way back from Ludlow. I turned them off at one point thinking I can't need them now the fog has cleared alot. It seemed that someone turned the lights off

Better get my new reflectors in...

I know its nice having proper fogs and nice to have a pair at the back not just one!!! I like the symetry!!!! lol

Before Rupert chips in - yes, I've finally replaced the bulb in my near side rear fog

What is it with new cars only having one rear, fog, looks silly

I wish 340's had cut outs for fogs, I'd like to have them if it was a simple fit

And, don't even think about saying I should cut the holes out

You could buy a 360 front panel and get a bodyshop to fit it and match paint etc!!!! Would look original!!! As my 340 had thatr panel from a 360 when it was repaired!!

Bloody hell, it hasn't even met the reserve

Granted it is tidy but the mileage isn't anything special, just wonder what we could get for some of ours now they're getting popular with the drift lot, Nev mentioned them selling for £500-600 down there I think!
cheers

£400 seems the right price for that car really - it does look in bloody good condition. It's all on bodywork condition, entirely. So if it is truly as good as it looks - worth it!
