Yes B19A with the R sport double cab.

122 hp. For the moment, I only have the stickers

There is one in a garage next to my place. It's in bad condition, very rusty, and only good for parts. I am fighting with the garage to get the price down a bit. They pretend they can sell it anytime more than 500 euros. Mind you, that's 7 years it's on their parking.

I've called them again today, they said they don't want to sell it to me and they'll offer it on a website of volvo 300 fans.... here they'll get a good price!

foggyjames, your heater inlet box is the same as mine.

The exact part that's shot on mine is the little resistor unit that is next to the fan motor.

Srg and Quentin - that's not my car - it's the 345 R-Sport in the picture gallery. However....hey, I had to pimp them...

TWO sets

You lot shouldn't encourage him...

No, you're

In fact, I've got no scanner right now. But it should be solved in a few weeks.

My project is to boost the family 345 GLS, with the R sport Kit.

If I can get the kit from this garage, It would be great, but there is still a problem:

The joint between the admission pipes and the carburators is dead and of course no more available from volvo....

I'll scan all my doc as soon as possible.

I get back to the subject of the topic,

would it be possible to get a blak door handle from the scrap yard?

Ooh.. R-Sport badges... I have been trying to find a set of those too.

Easy

If you have a local scrapyard though this would be very cheap and save on postage! The handles are the same throughout the late mk2s and mk3 cars.

I think the key was colour - very few are black!

Thought they were the same colour.. can't say I've paid much attention to them before.

New door handles aren't too expensive at the Volvo dealer either. Bought one black for GLT about 8 euros or something...

You got black ones on certain rare interiors...ie: Leather. Mine are definitely grey. GLT ones might all be black I guess.

cheers
