Anjo goes 343! the daily project

[vØlvØfreak]

Anjo, you're talking about a REAR spoiler and you show the FRONT of the car...?

@ Tom: have a look on the V3C forum:

[volvodspec]

hahaha, yeah i saw i missed copypasting a link fixed!

but i wasn't lying as i've got an even rarer frontspoiler lying around too; also designed for the short bumper 300's and made for the 79-80 nose

[vØlvØfreak]

That's even new info for me! I think the famous V3C 'this thread is worthless without pics' emoticon would just fit well at this moment

[trabitom99]

Ah, nice!

Another type of rear spoiler was fitted to French MkII R-Sports, check this out:


Cheers

Tom

[volvodspec]

yeah, and the same thing was also mounted on mk2 340's in germany

nou dit is dus dé mooiste striping die er is voor een 300 omdat deze tenminste bij de carosserievormen past!!

Those are Touring / Oettinger stripes

leather on 343 chairframe:


offcourse with working flip-forward mechanism allowing easy rear acces


i've kept the plastic bits near the adjustment knob of the 343 intact to make it look somewhat original

next up is my driverside chair, wich will be wrapped in RHD passengerside leather; nearly brandnew and after that a leather rear bench with NO headrests; that's was the bench i've been after as i hate the rear headrests blocking a lot of view, removing them allways left 4 nasty plastic things in sight; not anymore

my dad complained about a cold ass in the winter due to the leather seats, so drivers side will be equipped with working heated seats wich will be on the came circuit as the rear window heater.

spare time is short at the moment, so don't know when it's all finished...

again cheers for the shipping Ben, i really appreciate it.

[volvodspec]

here's a nice little teaser for a few of the bits that will be on the car soon

[volvodspec]

last sunday i had a little meet with Frits and Erik; after 60miles of highway i was nearly home, got off the highway and the car started coughing/spluttering etc before suddenly completely giving up and die.. had to call a mate who towed me home with his impreza and tonight i could diagnose it as a faulty condensator. this is about the 6th or 7th time of engine troubles due to the freaking points ignition and i've completely had it with the antique rubbish. i don't know what it is, but points + condensator keep breaking within 2000km , checked literally everything and all i can think of is bad quality of the parts; now found a source where they do sell the descent stuff offcourse, making it last a whopping 10000km but i'm just sick of it it's a seveire obstruction to the car's reliabilaty not even mentioning the countless times i had to replace and readjust the ignition in the freezing weather, brrrr!

so, in short words: a renix conversion this weekend! and i don't care how cold it's gonna be, it's gonna happen

some pics of sunday:

[macplaxton]

I love points me!

You're right, there are a lot of shite ignition parts around.

Don't think I could be bothered doing a Renix conversion though, would just get a 123USB and have a passenger to play around with the curve.

[volvodspec]

80% of renix conversion done, in 2,5 hours



placing + wiring the Renix unit and mounting the distributor might happen this weekend, we'll see

Hi mate.
Love that rear spoiler. My yellow submarine would look even better with one
of them on the back end.
Cheers Mark.

[volvodspec]

yeah Mark, i like it 10.000x better than the MK2 GLT one, this thing suits the bodylines of the car rather than something that looks like it's sticked onto the boot to complete a list of accessories...

[SteveP]

Agreed! That rear spoiler looks amazing

[magnumpi]

Can we not fir Petronix Flame thrower points to these then because of the Renix setup, i've got them on the Beetle and they are a billion times better than stock points, needing no adjustment ever.

Yours and your friends cars are looking good, is the saloon on stock rims with bigger tyres or have they been banded, looks cool
