hi all, im seriously thinking about selling my volvo, i'l b honest i need sumin a little more daily like and as much as i love this one im thinking a std one wud b much more appropriate. since ive had the car ive done the cam belt, oil and filter, plugs, landrover rear shocks and sorted a couple of the water pipes that leaked. ild like to get wot i paid for the car, £800, if u want me to leave the facet and fuel swirl pot tho i want another £50. for another £100 i'll leave the brand new ripspeed headunit (£150) and alpine front door speakers (£40)

the car, 4 door 340 with clio 16v lump fitted. ive had a look over and cnt fault any of the insterlation (wiring, water pipes ect) and it runs well. its lowered all round, un-known springs on the front with lowering blocks on the rear. as above i fitted brand new landrover 110 rear shocks. in the boot is a ally fuel tank with a proper screw cap, it is unbaffled so surges wen u turn left without the external swirl pot. the front seats are mk5 escort rs2000 recaros, the passenger one is welded in, the drivers is on the subframe and moves front and back. the car is on 13x7 mini lights with 175/50 13's, all with good tread. brakes are good and underneith is solid except for a bit of rot on the front valence. the outside is respayed green, its not the best job i will admit but its green :lol: oh and for some reason its got no rear seat belts :? its got a side exit exhaust which is pretty loud but not stupid but wen u hoof it all u hear is induction noise and i shit u not sounds like its on 40's or sumin! i didnt believe till i drove it but its awsome. oh nearly forgot, i did have a small incident with a pothole, there is a small crack in the sump which i have repaired with jb weld, so far its been fine.

ive been as honest as i can b, the car is located in west london, 10 mins from the m25/m40 juction, i put 6months tax at the begining of the month. its goes well, is fun to drive and get looks everywhere u go in it. as ive sed for prices, 800 takes the car with no sterio or external swirl pot, +50 for the pot and pump +100 for the new sterio to b left in. i'll also consider a part-ex with a standard car, prefure a 360 but just let me no.

cheers!

ive still got this, havnt realy been trying to sell it but i realise i need a sensible winter car so it has to go :(

the other day the starter packed up and the repaired sump dose seap a little ive noticed now

as it stands now 750 takes it with no sterio. (im sure with a gental tap on the starter it will start)

oh and the new cam belt is in the boot, i was gonna fit it but didnt get round to it, i have checked the old belt and its ok, showing no signs of breaking up.
