Hi

I've imported a US spec 780 and am in the process of getting it UK registered.

Its a 1990 built car, 2.3 Turbo Auto in Burgundy with cream leather.

Pretty much everything seems to work on it with the exception of the Stereo/Amp, which may be down to a poor battery or blown fuse/circuit (the car had to be started with jump leads as the battery was flat from the crossing).

The sun visors have illuminated mirrors and the flip-up covers have broken off, both are with the car, but I think the easiest solution may be a swap - I think they are from a 760/960...?

I want to replace the Volvo badges on the front wings with side repeater indicators (as per Euro spec) and at some point change the headlamps from US to Euro units, though they will have to be used units as new ones are serious £££!

I'll post pictures once I get it cleaned and registered - all things considered, I am *very* pleased with my first Volvo!
