My 2nd 340!!

Post by Andy P » 08 Dec 2008 11:02 am

Well this saturday I picked up my 2nd 340 :) (and 3rd volvo on the driveway!)

It's a lovely 1990 red 3 door 1.4 and it's in stunningly mint condition - a real credit to the previous owner.

Its a non runner so I'm on the lookout for some F7P power :)

Hi Andy and everyone.

I have just joined this forum and going to keep an eye on Trundle 2 ( it's nickname ) .... :lol:

I am so pleased that Trundle 2 has gone to a great new owner as I was very concerned that it would land up on the scrap heap.

That would have been a tragedy after all the hours that I have spent keeping her nice.

The original owner and yours truly made sure that no money was spared when it came to her maintenance.

Andy please keep us posted here on work that you are going to do to her and can't wait to pop down so that you can take me for a spin..... sm48

I will come down in the Mazda MX 6 and will take you for a spin too .... 8)

Anyway here are fotos that I took on Saturday of Andy collecting her.

Hope you don't mind your fotos appearing, I can always remove them if you want .... :wink:

Anyway guys enjoy the fotos and take care.

Bye for now

I think that engine would be better off in a 340. What they've made there is a renault 19. I don't want to sound like a h8r, but I h8'ed my 440.

If you sneak an F7P under the front lid, paula might have to do an upgrade on the Trundle2's name as well mind.

P'raps
Waaaaaaaah2!
or
Yaaaaaaaahooooooo2!

might end up a bit more appropriate for the finished article.

Anyway, good luck with it man.

Hey,

I see that you have a Pontiac Fiero.

Awesome car, obviously a LHD import from the USA?

My friend Claire had one over there.
