Hi
This is about my 340 I have almost a year now. It is a "84 with single solex carburettor. (60 HP) It is an automatic. I bought it from the first owner. It has driven 78.000 km's. I noticed that there are some critical rust places... I wanted to sell him. But I couldn't do it, so I still have him. I now welding some places
Some pictures:
This is after I just had him. The picture was taken after a big cleaning
Broken differential after a lot of drifting (I just had him 2 monts......)
Hanging a new one
Got some alloy wheels
Ahhhhh
With my Volvo on the race track

The car is now partly demontated, but, it gets at different places new steel.
Cheers

I finished the welding:
I placed a new servobrake and masterbrakecylinder. The old mastercylinder leaked into the old servobrake. The new one is from 86< type.
I also made a sportexhaust. It is from a honda 600 bycicle.
And I got new rims
The need a sandblast, and i 'm gonna paint them white.
