Just too update you 240 guru's, I have now taken this GLT on as our previous buyer found himself a mint 244 !

The old gentleman refered too originally was Herbert and a sprightly 95yrs old, is he our oldest Volvo driver ?

Work starts Monday on the welding, front brakes and cylinder head gasket !

When done will be a cracking GLT, the interiour is immaculate.

Whilst im on, im looking too put on a set of 17" wheels, however, cant find any that fit, anyone got any contacts / information to assist or maybe already done this too their 240 ?

cheers.

To fit 17's the best bet is to buy a set of decent spacers to use some front wheel drive Volvo wheels off an 850/s70/v70 etc. You need the spacers to essentially lower the offset of the fwd wheels.

Apologies if im using wrong site,however, cant seem too get private message service too work.

I have been contacted by another member Peter Keen re my GLT alloys, if your reading this Peter I can be contacted on 0773 2027471.
Please leave a text as I cant always anwser my phone.

cheers.

ps. My GLT is now up and running, though still needs further TLC, which will no doubt be ongoing over the next few months, too date new calipers / discs on front, head gasket done, clutch cylinder, various suspension bits etc......

Good news.

Why not start a project thread to document the work you do? I can vouch that it's rewarding and motivating, and you get lots of helpful advice/suggestions.
