2 litre 5 door 340

[samueljon]

Got this around 2 months ago but due to the miles i travel iam looking for a cheap diesel now
the car has around a years mot and tax till next year, the car drives so well and i dont really want to get rid of it! (may not do depending on intrest)

ive just had new spax suspension fitted from classicswede and have replaced the front struts as they had rusted!

now price i bought the car for 1500£
ive had 300-400£ spent on the suspension








Now the issue it has is i may have tapped a kirb and bent the front wishbone and smashed a wheel

so iam after £1000 for it, i will try and get it fixed but that will put the price up to £1200
the car cant be driven at the moment as the wheel is touching the arch.


thanks for your intrest

[samueljon]

[samueljon]

going to get a few people to look at it during the week to get a price on the repairs and will let you know

but as it is ill let it go for around 800£

I would have the heater fan and wind deflectors if you decide to break mate..

If you do break it i would be very interested in the 2.0 litre lump

Cheers, ben

[samueljon]

iam not breaking as i dont have the space to do so

Probably the only way to get 800 back,unfortunately.

Are there no friends nearby with a garage? Surely you can frag it in the road while all your neighbours are at work, engine gets picked up the same day and then scrappy comes along to pick the shell up?

(This has always been my plan in the event of emergency frag)

[J340GLT]

if you can get it transported to me i will have the car as is.

The last 300 I bought had the same prob. Couldn't be straightened without a jig so ended scrapping the shell.

i will see what happens in the next few days with it and let people know whats going to happen

[mrborrie]

okay i need to ask, can all this be done with the vario still in place?
Got a 340 a week ago for parts that i can use to aid my volvo 360 but this looks interesting too.. i dont need another car though.
And free bump for what looks to be a baller ride

[classicswede]

Possible but hard work,

problem no1 is the vario prop is not the same as a manual so you would have to either make a prop to fit the 1.7 bellhousing or make an adaptor plate to fit the vario housing

next issue will be getting all the vacuum set up connected up right and working correctly.

[mrborrie]

how hard is it too just ditch the vario.. i obviously have never looked into this
