My new 340.

Post by kaos » 12 Oct 2008 11:06 am

So the other night. i was looking for parts to tidy my 3 door up and came across this lovely 1990 340 on ebay just up the road from me and down the road from jalridge

so i screamed and shouted at the folks and they caved in so i now own it.

so the guy laid it up. and its got noticably a bit more rust that mine and my 3 door is 1 year older!

And yes my 3 door volvos on the drive to the left of the first picture. and yes also the rover and the mk2 golf is also household cars. and behind is one of the festival ambulances being fitted out.

Now to sort the fuel problem and some other niggles and she should see the road soon.

I must note one important aspect of your cars Kaos, colour choice is just perfect, I'm sure MJ agrees on that :lol:

Congrats from new wheels ;)
