Yes, It was the yellow one on ebay. I've wanted one since I was young and stupid, now that I am old and stupid I have managed to get hold of one.

I have not trouble doing the jobs required on it, spent 10 years in the motor trade in the 80s specialising in volvo's before I got more sensible and started teaching instead. I even scrapped a number of 140s and 240s back then when they were worth nothing, so brainless!

I would love to have some of the parts I owned them. I had B20 engines and gearboxes and owned both a 164E and 145 for years, as well as countless other volvo's since. One of my main cars is a V70 AWD from 1998 with only just over 100,000 and few owners on it.

Back to the yellow amazon.
I agree with the suggestion of getting it good structurally and running nicely in original form before deciding about modifications. I would only modify if it was a keeper because I feel that selling originality is always easier.

Thanks for the info about panels, I will look into them further as getting good quality panels that fit is certainly a much better prospect as far as I am concerned.
