Hello all, I'm new here but I've been a RWD volvo fan since I was a kid. I was browsing as you do and found this site, it applies to the 240 but may be of use to you aswell.

240 GLT Saloon, Parts Car 230E
240 GL(T) Estate (being pimped), MY Baby soon to be B230E
360 GLT 5 Door, Dean and Gone but had huge fun tearing around devon

May not to be to other people's taste, but I'm looking at velvet Zebra print headling and door card retrim, 2 tone paint job, Possible sound install in the boot as it's huge, lower slightly with possible hydraulics on the front then the back. Painting the engine and everything else including the rear axel as its currently off.

I just want to enjoy the car really. I had loads of fun putting it side ways whenever possible.

I really want the R-Sport roll bars for my baby aswell,

I'm also looking for a cheap 360 GLT to run around in aswell now just until I finish the 240.

Anyone want any pics of any parts let me know and I can send them to you, as I've taken pics of all the parts as I've stripped them.

The best bet of first stage handling improvments with a 200 are lowering spring good rear dampers spax etc and front glt mono tubes up front. They are not easy to get in the uk. But I can get hold of them.

Have you got any pics?

Sounds different what you intend to do.

Welcome! 'Fraid to say that someone in the states has already done the cow-print roofliner in a 740. You'd think it'd look tasteless and awful, but it's actually awesome. The doorcards might be a step too far, but if you did the 'trim strips' through the middle of them instead of doing the whole card, that would look amazing. I actually have a set of leather-trimmed door cards (donors for experimenting on?) for a 240 which you can have for £10...and I live in Derby half the time. Interested?

cheers

That's where the idea came from, it looked awesome to say the least, but getting to that stage is difficult at the moment as I'm swithching the axle and gearboxs of the 240 at the mo. Oh and re-doing the brake lines and suspension and polybushing etc etc. BUT it will be done as it looked so good.

Sounds like you have plenty of work on your plate! If you want the door cards, do let me know and I'll pick them up from my friend's garage where I'm storing them, as I'm coming up to Derby on the 6th.

cheers
