I'm suprised no-one has picked up on this little titbit of info - a Mk1 GLS aka rare as rocking horse droppings............

Quentin.. I got your interior door parts today. Two fronts both uncracked, and one rear (other was chipped). All in good condition, barely any scratches from fingernails etc.. email me and we can sort it all out :)

Yeeesssssss,

Excellent, thank you so much. I didn't answer faster because I was under my Mk2 83 GLT, finishing the wax treatment.

I'll email when I'm back home (I'm supposed to be working now :mrgreen: )

For the Mk1 GLS, it's a shame, I went to the scrap on saturday and it was already gone.

It was a one owner's car in really nice conditions, but "no one looks for that" the guy said..... :shock:

I'm thinking of creating a volvo300mania club card that we could all use for our parts hunting: We leave the card in the volvo garages or scrapyards, so hopefully they give use a call when they get a nice one.

Thanks for the parts steve 340pw

That's not a bad idea actually, it could save people here a lot of effort and give scrap yards a good chance of selling something. I guess though it's a bit of an effort to remember if they don't get many 300's...

I don't normally say where I am on public forums ;)

Anyway, I sent you an E-mail several days ago to the address in your profile, didn't you get it? :? I'll send it again.

I didn't get the first one...but I got that one! You're in the right area for mini-meets, so it's all good :)

Just in case anyone wants to steal MJ's car...he lives here...

Bloody hell Hugh...get a job :-P Joking aside though, that sucks. Better get saving to come to MK - plenty of warning, so no excuses! We need some mk2 representation.
