i'm baaaaaack!!

[5lab]

and back into volvos! well, sorta.. i've not given up on the mondeo (700 miles from £55 of diseasal on the weekend? get in), but, i've been accepted into the plymouth dakar rally (www.plymouth-dakar.co.uk) and i need a 300 (what else) to do it in.. unfortunately it needs to be left-hand-drive, so i'm going to try and source something on the continent, unless any of you have any lying about..?

the magic is.. i'm going to chop the roof off first - hopefully if i weld the doors, and put a crossbar in behind the back seats, it wont loose *too* much strength (roof was flimsey anyways) - so i'm going to need a saloon so the boot still works i see a bit of a project coming on anyways - i've got till december to finish the car, and then its off to banjul http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en ... 93164&om=1 i've been told i have to get rid of grace first, so that will be happening shortly..

have i missed much on the v3m front? i'm guessing (not checked) i've now been out-spammed by redline, but anything else? all the cars still running/ok??

ooh, just found this.. http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en ... 2,0.002682

[5lab]

no - at the end of the rally the cars get auctioned off to locals - they normally go for over £500, so maybe a good home for the open top godess??

May I be the first to ask how you'll keep the rain out?

Sounds like a sweet project.

Please only do this stuff to it if it's past it's best *checks car is locked in garage*

If you do any of the work at your parents house instead of Brighton I'd be more than happy to help out, when I'm not up at uni

Anyway, good to see you round again

Good to see you back Hugh and with the intention of using a 300 again! Even if you are going to butcher it, abuse it and give it away!

Hey now, Nessy is still going strong!
...oh....you mean the convertible?

We'll have to get you to come to the saaf coast meet if it ever gets off the ground, and I'll bring 'tha nezzle' along.

cheers
