You may need in order of likelihood :

a RENIX ignition unit 3204948 ( 402 as the last 3 digits of the type number ) and the flywheel sensor ,

a fuse box ,

a drivers door handle complete;


a pair of rear light units with good connection terminals

How are your headlamp reflectors ? you can still find brand new ones for sale at about £30

door hinge pins are cheap and renewing worn ones stops the door knocking when on the move .

As a bonus if you can find a 5 speed transaxle from a 1.7 it will make a useful difference to refinement and fuel economy . It is an easy direct replacement .


It might be good to find a new volvo clutch and exhaust system .

and a propshaft if you can find one ,

You are unlikely to need any of the above , as you know the 300 series never breaks down or needs any parts :-)
