Have you considered changing to the 1975-78 round headlamp setup? Looks better and may be lighter.

I hardly find any volvos in breakers yards on the west side of London will probably just buy and break a 7or940 turbo as it will provide loom ect as well there's 3 or 4 Volvo's in my local breaker Kirby's 1 740 1 240 and a 760 Have you considered changing to the 1975-78 round headlamp setup? Looks better and may be lighter. yes i do want to get a pair but they are a pretty hard find

Top work as ever, leaving me feeling somewhat inferior. If it pops up in blue in a couple of weeks because you've painted it using your feet or something I may sulk!

Great progress for someone who should still be recovering from surgery, and enjoying the benefits of a sadistic physio-terrorist.

I just got unfeasibly excited at the prospect of an update of this thread! lol why do volvos do that to me.. never did before I found RR! lol Looking good.. if your looking to move the volvo on drop me a PM when your ready as I 'might' be interested... also if cash is tight but time isn't could possibly put some work your way in the shape of the Mrs' Panda Anywhoo let me know would take the compressor but about to go give davemk1gti all my spare cash. If its still about next week could be more interested! Keep it up! Joe
