	I got this the other day as I wanted the wheels for my V8 SD1 but having got it home and got it started (not run for over 3 years) I think its to good to break, I think with a little work it would see the road again. The only holes I could find was this in the front drivers wheel arch and theres a tiny bit behind it. Theres also a tiny hole in the rear of the drivers rear inner wheel arch. The passenger rear door is no good, I think the others can be saved This is the worst part of the scuttle Cheers Craig

	Love the SD1 2600. My dad had a brown one when I grew up. I can still remember the "smooth" velour trim and chunky gear lever . Nice engine note as well.

	What are your plans for it? Are you going for a straight Resto or are you going for a few Mods etc? I do think it's begging for either the T5 or T6 from a volvo shoved in. Giving it the power that all SD1's should have had straight from the factory. But that's what I think anyway. I loved these cars since I could walk. I still want one but not sure I could justify owning one just yet. Goodluck in whatever route you take.
