Like the Gangster Cap - I have exactly the same on my green 444 which is, er, currently hibernating in the back of the garage whilst I get lots of niggles on my 144 and 164 done.

Here in Portugal they are known as "marreco's" hunchbacks! They were very popular in Portugal in their time.

You'll get round to it one day, and this one isn't a 5 minute fix, as I have to finish an Amazon estate for my wife first. We've all got too many cars.

Andy, Lynne gave up a long time ago, but as long as I keep working on her estate during the week she won't shout too much. Your suspension looks good on facebook, you can come and do mine if you want.
As for the cat comparison, I suppose I can see what they mean, but it's a bit unfair, though whether to car or cat I'm not sure.
Thanks for the compliment Andy, it's been a joy to restore the subframe to be onest'.
Good to know you've still got the "V" bug, my TR will be sat for a while till I get my Amazon on the road.
Engine now rebuilt and subframe going back in this week, been to Stoneleigh today and nothing Volvo there, ok if you want Ford Escort,Moggy 1000, or Cortina bits.........poor show this year even traders were surprised at the lack of folk throught the door JMO.

Does one need to read Dutch to get value out of the club? An older copy of their register came to me with my car, but I could barely make anything out of it.

EDIT: OOPS! Wrong thread. Sorry.
