Very tempting but my 340's got highish mileage at 130,000, but I suppose should an engine transplant be required in future the kit would be in place and it would all bolt up! It's only a waste of time/money if you don't intend to keep the car running whatever happens!

How doe's LPG do towing a caravan?

Banner.

Have looked into having a banner produced - cost is not horrendous so I propose to
go ahead and get one produced. 12' x 2', with eyelets and pole pockets.

I am suggesting something like below. Comments please and any colour preferences.
If no responses - I will choose myself.

Hi Mac

Thanks for all your hard work. As for the banners, I think that your design is great, although I would suggest trying to get a Volvo typeface (perhaps Volvo Broad as at: http://dragon240.free.fr/totoche/Volvobroad.ttf). My colour preference would be for dark blue text on a white background, in the Volvo way.

Mac and S10NPH,

Like the banners and the idea of using a volvo typeface, which i happen to have along with one quite similar to the '340/360' badges on the back of the cars. I could design a few based on what you've produced if you like?
'88 360 +T LSD - sold
'87 760 TDI (D24TIC) - sold
'04 V40 D sport (F9Q, decat, Remapped, launch control)
'89 740 SE (b230ft, 12psi, V-cam, headwork, 'remapped', banded steels)
'86 340 DL 1.4

I like the designs! How about a picture or will that bump the price up too much? I liked the blue and black font

Nimmiz does seem quite handy when it comes to photoshop etc!

here's something I've just put together, they are all single colour. I'm guessing the more colours you have the more expensive it is, so photo's would put the cost up, although an outline sort of drawing probably wouldn't providing it's in the same colour.
