Anyone fancy a Mk1 Volvo 345

[SteveP]

Got sent this ad the other day, I thought as its suitably retro and pretty cheap I'd stick it up here. If it was a 3 door Id've gone for a look myself!

[Mr_Bo11ox]

that looks class!

[qwerty]

BTTT. Some one has to buy this. Its the usual time/money excuse for me

Do it someone. this would make a wicked, and practical retro ride.

[samyboy]

i wish

[SteveP]

If anyone is atall interested I could probably be persuaded to go and have a look and take some better pics, seeing as its close to me. I know 300s pretty well, so I'd easily be able to spot the common rust areas.

I almost wish I could take it on myself - c'mon the poor fugly thing needs a home!

Definately got your heart set on a 3dr Steve? this thing could make great project, specially if its in good nick.

[SteveP]

I don't know if I could buy a 5 door mk1, I have a feeling it's perhaps too fugly ;D

Although.. a little inspiration...

[SteveP]

Whoops... whilst browsing I accidentally found a better pic of it on a Classic Car site... doesn't actually look too bad

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Theres no doubt that it is 176% FUG-LEEEE, however theres no doubt it would look the pods shined up and with some of those later 5-spoke Volvo GLT wheelz on it, and tapped gently with the height reduction baton.

Love that Mk1 front with the big gowky black placca grille.

I admit I'd prefer a 3 door but being super undesirable has its charms. Plus i bet if you went to look at it you could batter his asking price too!

I was thinking of something along the lines of this....

Wow!!

C'mon Stevep, get that thing bought!

[RetroMat]

that looks well funky, plus the 5 doors look better proportioned than the 3drs definitely get it brought ;D

[reanimation]

Fuglicious! think mk1 golf surf bords on top, cleaned lines tidied or summat could be good.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

They look even better with that 'small front bumper' like the second one posted by SteveP.
