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

And the rust...

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

Cheers

Nice pics, very arting in the sunset there! That one could be on a Volvo brochure of the time! Good to see you're keeping the car, and I'm watching your project keenly. Good luck!

By coincidence I happened to stumble across your car earlier today on V3C... on a picture smoking the inside rear tyre up

Not yet.. It isn't finished already. I think I need about 6 hours the get it done. That means it is in the begin of july done. Then also a new APK.

But I'll show the pictures of my first weld-job.

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.
