All for it! Just bought myself a '79 245 on Saturday and tonight was the first time I was in the 480 again since then. I forgot how nippy it was, and how fun they are to drive.

The best thing is, I was driving it to and from the MOT center... she passed with flying colours!

Here's a picture of her with her elder, just before I changed the front clusters and number plates for the test! Oh, and another just to prove you don't need an old school RWD Volvo to be cool!

Need to do an update as I have fitted magnecor KV85 race leads and an MBC since then! I am planning to change all the bushes to sturdy up the suspension - might even lower it!

What things have you guys done to yours? I can see alloys, MBCs and exhausts.

I just changed from the clear to the orange clusters for MOT!! The clear clusters warn't in very good condition, and cracked etc.

Very interested to see what his car looks like all blacked-out at the front? I was considering doing similar after I found an 80s red LED car accessory for replicating Kitt - The front clusters are waaay to expensive to be messing with, though!!
