I am selling my 1979 245 estate fitted with a B23FT engine from a 1998 940 turbo. See previous owners build thread below.

So below, is what the car looks like in my ownership. I was on the lookout for a pre-1980 245 for a long time, so I had very set plans in my head of what I wanted to do.
I bought P1800S wheels from Scandix and had them banded 3 inches, and powdercoated. They then fit the original chrome hubcaps. I had a full custom stainles steel exhaust made from the downpipe back. I fitted new IPD springs all round and changed the shocks for Longer Gaz shocks again, all round. This helps deal with the terrible roads locally here. I fitted a non-rusty tailgate, a new distributor cap, rotor arm, engine mounts, battery and clamp, passenger track arm, brake pipe mounts and slave cylinder. It's fully serviced to a high standard. I fitted a better M47 gearbox and have the other spare.
I've probably done a lot of othjer jobs I've enjoyed tinkering away at, and forgotten
I have too many projects, and they're kind of getting on top of me at the moment. This will have to go. Along with a huge amount of spares free with the sale.
I'm looking for £7k sterling for a quick sale, I bought it for £6,500 and have spent over £3,000 on it. I have receipts for everything and the car comes with paperwork a mile long. As it was previously on UK plates, I'm sure it wouldn't be too much trouble to return it home!
I'm in Dublin, Ireland. I'm 10 mins from Dublin Airport and Dublin Port. Anyone interested can be collected in the car. It is in daily use.
