Amazon: - My Amazon Estate

JDW3696 · Jan 7th, 2023, 08:20

Well. Here is my Amazon. About eight years on from having to sell my other one. Finally got another but its been a bit if a journey. Broke down on the way home from buying it, new fuel lines, new fuel tank. I replaced all of the ignition parts. I had a charging issue that was sorted by the help of people on here, luckily that is now fixed. Having the car put on the rolling road soon and then it will be time to enjoy and improve as I go. One day id like to get it as mint as my old one.

Great looking car Joe, I had a brief chat about you and it just before Christmas with Paul, glad to hear you’ve got it running nice!
Out of interest what rolling road have you used?

Joe;

Good to hear your Kombi is all squared away! Nice pix!

For carb damping fluid, Marvel Mystery Oil, or ATF works fine...see: https://www.sw-em.com/su_carbs.htm#Damping%20Oil

...now you just need a pair of long-haired German Shepherds for a DQBVVATS (Dual Quadraped Biological Vintage Volvo Anti-Theft System)...like gillberry!

Cheers
