Many thanks for that, much appreciated and quite interesting.

Not on FB however, but wondered if there is any way I can message without having to join??

Would like a couple of further photos ideally.

Cheers
Steve
At this point Steve, hold your nose and sign up with a freshly minted gmail address. Zuckerberg will forever have you tagged as a 145 freak, but that's a small price to pay.

Blimey BB,

What is it about the chaps down in the South West, seems they must have all the old dodgy 145's down there.

Will try to get my head around getting a gmail account.

Cheers
Steve

If it all gets too technical, I can initiate contact and get a phone number for you...


But given the treats appearing today, and the existence of a healthy 140 series UK owners group, you won't be missing out.

Just don't click on any kitten videos etc. in your 'feed'. The algorithm will detect and suggest an unending stream of similar. Stick to the Volvos.

Cheers BB,

I will be very wary of clicking anything, Volvo porn is bad enough😀👍

Zooming in on the photo showing a heap of parts inside the car, is that a headlining backer board, as it looks to have a sunroof cut out.

Not sure if these early 145's would have had headlining boards, probably more like perforated vinyl and sprung wire ???

Cheers
Steve

Think headliner is the least of the problems.
Chunk missing below n/s headlight, sills overdue replacement.

OTOH its a runner, which is more than could be said for some costing far more.

Definitely going to need a big bottle of Argomix to do that one.

😀😀 ha ha, headliner wasn't my main concern, more that it could be a clue, if it's got a dodgy aftermarket sunroof, or actually any type of sunroof then you can almost guarantee rot isn't going to be far away, and probably in the worst place to repair it well (unless you're Mitch).

Cheers
