[vØlvØfreak]

where do you find these things!!?

I have a 'demand advertisment' on marktplaats:
http://link.marktplaats.nl/259019585

and the seller send me an email
He lives only 35 KM from me, so that was another pleasant surprise

How am I doing?

again I received some koni's, brand new. It's getting boring



rear koni's and front koni's for a 340 1.4 (86-1990), but they are better then the standard volvo shocks.

But I don't know which one would be better for my car:
- seconde hand volvo 360 front koni's, stiffer but used...
- brand new Volvo 340 1.4 koni's, less stif, but brand new..

which one would be better?

also this sicker was included:



will come on the back of my car

last but not least, total view:



in half a year. They aren't so hard to find

maybe some of you allready noticed the demand advertisment:

the clamping sleeve of the grey 360 was broken.

sounds like these are no good if the car is in gear:

unfortunately it isn't available anymore in The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Denmark, Sweden and the UK (yes I've checked all of them!)

Day 1: removing everything (fuel pump, wheels, gearbox and diff, etc...) and give the beam which holds the gear box an anti-rust treatment.

Day 2:


the 360 on supports, gearbox and diff on the ground, a shiny beam and my dad cleaning some parts.



bad side of the old clamping sleeve



good side of the old clamping sleeve, this is how it should be



axle of the gearbox, in the red square it was a little damaged, but it still was good enough



'new' clampingsleeve on the gearbox (used one from our own 'stock' )




nice and shiny beam, this will never rust again!

after 4 ours everything was back in place and the car was driving again after 6 weeks

Another update with parts, very very nice parts

Package from Denmark:



what's that.....?



A brand new MK3 bodykit frontspoiler!!!!!

Sideskurts I had allready, so in the future 2 bodykitted saloons!

Also Peter pasted by today with the leather from Foggy:


Foggy and Peter, Thanks for all the efforts you've put in to get it here!

also the backseat was included, but I was to lazy to take pictures by my own
The little damage will be restored offcourse.

Damn, what a nice day!

you cant beath leather in a 300.
Looking good man.

[trabitom99]

Hey, well done! RHD leather in a LHD car ... worth having [thanks again, Steve_P]

We need to find a way of getting more of the lesser "drifty throwaway interiors" over to this side of the channel. Even a 300 drivers' seat sags one day ...

Great thead btw, bodykitted saloons are the ultimate... it'll look great on that light metallic blue

OK, I get it! That's the second lot of leather seats of yours that has made it's way over here then Was it from a hatch or a saloon? I still have a saloon backrest left over (from my hatch conversion) if you need one Mark ...

Folks who want Konis keep an eye on Autoteile Hilt - they seem to get them in now and again. Beware, they don't take Paypal and insist on direct bank transfer which from the UK will cost £15-30. But the parts are cheap to begin with and totally transform the handling of a V300.

[trabitom99]

Another source is Limal Autoteile. I've bought Konis from them in the past ...

I don't remember whether they took PP or not though. Within the Euro zone, IBAN payments are free.
