OK, so I'm down the scrappy looking for bits when I spot this great L-plate Volvo 164 Auto saloon! It's complete and for sale.
Sensible head says: "ooh that's nice - be a good project for someone....now what were we here for...."
For reasons unknown, Sensible head then disappears and "crazed petrol-head" takes over after spotting a 740 Turbo in there aswell. Cue the loss of all logical thought....
"Buy it buy it buy it! Volvo 164 with Turbo engine - it HAS to be done!"
Fortunately (well, fortunately for my neighbours, my wallet, my wellbeing...) when I returned to the scrap yard (Crazed petrol-head still firmly lodged on my shoulders), the Volvo had been sold.
I consider it a lucky escape but it's scary how close I came to having another project I can't afford!
