Main users' rides thread: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2546My pride and joy, won at auction above where I wanted to, but about where I expected to, and unlikely to be seen in such shape for such a price again. I love this car and hope I own it forever.    _________________DIYEFI.org - where Open Source means Open Source, and Free means Freedom FreeEMS.org - the open source engine management system FreeEMS dev diary and its comments thread and my turbo truck!n00bs, do NOT PM or email tech questions!

EDIT: Project link, read along as this old Volvo is reborn into a different creature: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=2634A friend scored a deal on this, and was very nice and let me score that deal instead. Thank you very much! <3 Bought for scrap price 400 by him, bought by me with WOF for 440, registered to the Mrs so she can get insurance and practice in it. I don't care much about the car itself. It's a bit rough in the front end and I mainly want the diff, trans, engine, etc. Her golden/red heart:  Here she is, in all of her glory:  EDIT: Here she is, today, as the automotive gods intended her to be, a caravan:     _________________DIYEFI.org - where Open Source means Open Source, and Free means Freedom FreeEMS.org - the open source engine management system FreeEMS dev diary and its comments thread and my turbo truck!n00bs, do NOT PM or email tech questions!

Main users' rides thread: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2624Also bought for the engine and trans, but far too nice to waste, so I think I'll keep it.   _________________DIYEFI.org - where Open Source means Open Source, and Free means Freedom FreeEMS.org - the open source engine management system FreeEMS dev diary and its comments thread and my turbo truck!n00bs, do NOT PM or email tech questions!

Agreed to buy this before I found out I couldn't afford it. Honoured my word. Haven't picked it up, yet, but keen to start moving parts from it to the 240 wagon :-) Discussion thread: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2728Exterior: https://twitter.com/FredCookeNZ/status/ ... 8032277504Interior: https://twitter.com/FredCookeNZ/status/ ... 8377807872Static hosted:  _________________DIYEFI.org - where Open Source means Open Source, and Free means Freedom FreeEMS.org - the open source engine management system FreeEMS dev diary and its comments thread and my turbo truck!n00bs, do NOT PM or email tech questions!
