Hi Rich,

Mike will still not use this forum because of the way issues had been handled in the past and the previous total closure of the forum. He is not willing to contribute to a forum that showed little care for its users. He does use rwdvolvos.org and can be emailed on volvo240@lycos.com

I will have windows available for a 140. You can either PM me or email Mike about them

Regards

Dai

Thanks Dai - good to hear that Mike is still with us! for one moment I thought he might be driving the great volvo in the sky!

I would be delighted to post info on the 144 but would rather wait till it is in my custody

however, here is a link to the car when it was advertised on retro rides:

check out the SU carb - I do approve I have had nothing but trouble with Strombergs of this vintage

I remember seeing this one on ebay a short while ago.

My 142 is factory fitted with a SU but peronaly I don't like hs6 carbs but prefer HIF's or strongbergs.

Looks like it should be quite a good car

got it and have listed it for sale due to dwindling resources - having said that - if she doesn't sell I will keep her and run her as she is a very solid example. - I'll let you know what bits I need Dai, so far looks complete

hi classicswede,

i see you have a few volvos you're breaking... i'm looking for a few carb linkage bits, especially the bracket where the main rod connects to the twin su aluminium manifold.

btw: have you got a collection of bit's and pieces over there in Anglesey? i see you are doing shocks and bushes etc too. have you a shop/garage?

regards,

Gareth

Hi Dai
Do you have a log book for the 140 estate you are breaking and if so how much would you want for it. I am looking for a log book as near to 1972 as possible. Let me know if you have or if you may know of one. By the way the rear side windows are rusting at the bottom and was wandering if the windows can be removed with the rubber trims still attatched or weather the aluminium trims need to be removed. If so are they difficult to get in and out.

Regards...Dean

cheers
