Re: is it worth anything
slightly off subject but i thought u guys may be interested i just managed to find my old pics of my old 480 i bought it and took the engine out for the r5,
i completly stripped it and scrapped the shell, i still have most the parts in my mates garage.
i bought the car with a little mot for £400 great engine.
And here is what i call rotten & needs welding (floor pan of renault 5)
so yea that was a fun little project.
i also had a go at some alloy polishing on the manifold
and the wheels
well heres the 480 when i finnished
and the renault 5
my chavy days
then i moved on to the jap seen
here was my ride,
well anyway fuel costs, and insurance killed it for me so i gave up on fancy cars ;(
sorry if i bored you i was just rumiging through my photobucket and reminiscing, thought someone may find it interesting?

Re: is it worth anything
Nice work on the rust.
Did the 1.7T ever make it into the R5? It looks very much like one of the cars in the Ali G movie!
cheers

Re: is it worth anything
I love the way the R13 tyre's are listed in trabitom's brochure pics as "standard equipment"
pretty useless without tyres i would have thought!
there is a Mk3 spoiler on ebay for £25 here is the link:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CLASSIC-VOLVO ... 565185d7b6
but it runs out in 4 hours, 0 bids ATM
Mk2 spoiler is somewhat rarer, but good luck if you decide to search for one!

Re: is it worth anything
Grrffff... MkIII spoilers on MkIIs aren't quite my cup of tea (I'm trying to look for a pic of one, but can't find it ATM ...).
Keep an eye out for the MkII one (they're not that rare), or even a Mk1 VW Scirocco Zender spoiler - these look good as too, and were even fitted by Volvo in the early days! Zender part no: 4.112.03.3
Congrats on the MOT!
Cheers
Tom

Re: is it worth anything
sorry for suggesting it, i shall beat myself accordingly!
didnt know about the scirocco spoiler being interchangeable with the 300, surely 'old' scirocco spoilers are more common so that'd be a better way to go!
