Dimensions: There are some bodywork dimension in the 1st edition Green Book, which is >MY77. I presume there were some in later editions too (don't have those). Being fold-out pages makes them very scanner unfriendly. :(

Don't think it is. I'll try and manhandle this book into the scanner later.

Cough up indeed! Sorry for costing you an additional £138! :lol: Hope it was the guy with the fucked white mk2 in this thread. He deserves it if he's going to restore that shell.

As for bracing, I removed mine without and it hasnt budged. the two huge box sections see to that!
Without engine though. I just took the weight of the engine off the shell by jacking it when I was removing the rust that was holding the car together.

Sorry dudes,could'nt resist the underlight panel. :oops: But according to the owner of the dealership,he said "The panel is still available,on a 10 day special order." For the princely sum of £41.99. :shock: :shock: Thats what his computor system said!!!! Can any body else verify that from a volvo dealership???
