Hi! Anyone know anything about my volvo 340? Red now silver

Post by Ollie » 07 Sep 2014 01:39 pm

F310 MNR

Bought this the other week as a bit of a project! Noticed it has Volvo300mania stickers on the quarter windows so thought id see if it has any history on here. It was red but someone has painted it silver. I mean everything silver! Starting to paint a few bits back again but my main focus for now is MOT in a few weeks!

I'm sure that was owned by someone on here, can't find the thread for it now but they painted sometime last year.

Aye, it was.

Thread isn't gone, it's just resting. I'll give the main man a nudge to revive it.

Hi all.
Yes thats Ashleys car. He called it Astrell Tweeks as he was into Van the Man ( Norn Iron rock star ) lol.

He is a great bloke. I sold him the wheels , rev counter , boot spoiler and chunky steering wheel from my old GLT.
Cheers Mark.

Hi Ollie.
Hillsborough is a lovely part of the country. Got a cousin living there.
Insurance is always a bit more expensive here but you might try Adrain Flux.
I get my 2lt 360 GLS for £93.00 fully comp classic.
Where did you manage to find a parts car? They are like hens teeth here :lol:
I remember giving Ashley a set of like new red line bumpers but he painted them
battle ship grey :shock: . If you need anything for the car, give me a shout.
Cheers Mark.
