Cheers dude.
Much appreciated.

Theres a nice snowcap now in the post from Holland, so fit that, black up the bumpers, hella, wing mirrors with silicone black stuff, then I really think im done.

Have you considered fitting an alarm, or some form of immobilisation to the car? That'd stop you worrying so much, and wouldn't be too hard/costly to do...

... don't forget the leather

EDIT: as for quick, cheap immobilisation, I'm sure removing a fuse or two would do the trick ...

No skin off my nose, I won't mention it again. Otherwise you'll have my, er, hide.

I'll get my coat

Tom

Groan.

you need a good 'hide'-ing tom.

Ok, you get a million points for effort, and minus half a million for having worse puns than me dude.

Bumpety bump for a new part added.

The Snowcap Has Landed.

Many many thanks to Mr habie12 (marcel) for going to all the trouble of posting it over from the land of cheese and clogs.

Looks a bit whacky as i washed the car before I took the photos, so theres water everywhere. (rookie mistake).
Next is silicone all the black parts up (hella grille, bumpers, wing mirrors, snowcap, maybe window rubbers if I can be haaaarsed) so they get back to deep black, rather than wishy washy grey.
Then fit leather interior. Once mr Chris_C has earned maximum benjamin brownie points by picking it up for me.

Then we shall be back. Back In Black.

Anyway, enough of my jive-talkin, on to some equally borin pics.............................................................................















Party on Everyone.

Welcome to the snowcap club And congrats on nabbing the leather ...

ooh! oooh! do we have a badge or something?!

cheers Tom.

The Snowcap clubs not THAT exclusive (theyll let anyone in) but its nice to have it on.
Once the leathers in, that REALLY IS IT!
No more!
Im skint!
Leave me alone!...................................................................................................................

Unless a louvre, spoiler, minilites, 16valve engine, etc etc etc turn up cheap

Forget it. It never stops. There's always something you haven't got, which turns up and you suddenly want. And have you started hoarding spare parts yet? Or second or third cars?

Here's something to whet your appetite though:




... as recently shown off by a lucky chap in the German DAF club.

Tom

I WANT ONE!

I'll give you a million pounds for it! TWO MILLION!!


im having to restrain myself actually tom.
Theres a decent 340 GL going in newcastle and a lots of parts that might come in handy sometime, but I have the advantages of being A) Poor as a church-mouse. B) I have absolutley no room C) er, look and A) again.

If I had a lock up, and decent money, that would be it though. I'd be a classic Volvo hoarder. Absolutley.

You sholdve stolen it and ran off.
