1999 V70R AWD - spares and repairs

[Atik]

Vehicle Details:
Looking for £500.00 for this 1999 ‘S’ reg Volvo V70R AWD. 2.3t engine with automatic gearbox. This was my daily driver until mid-2017 when the exhaust went. The car needed attention and money spending which I didnt have at the time, and ended up being SORN'd as of Aug 2017. Has been under a waterproof soft lined cover since then to keep it from the weather. Was in reasonable working condition when operational, but required some maintenance to bring to full operation condition. I did very little mileage at the time and only covered 5000 miles in around 18 months of driving it!
Usual R specs, including automatic climate control, cruise control, electric driver seat adjust, heated front seats, sunroof, working AWD. Bodywork is in overall average condition. Car had a respray at some point prior to my ownership. Has ABM projector headlights fitted which are amazing!
Due to being SORN and not being driven for nearly three years, this is up for sale as a spares and repairs and will need to be trailered away. I am located around 10 miles north of Birmingham. Looking for £500.00 for this as a spares and repairs vehicle. However I am sure it can be revived with the right attention.
History:
Bought the car 16/1/16 with 186379 on the clock with a small history file. Since then, I’ve tried to maintain it to as high a standard as I can. Details of all work carried out under my ownership below.
28/2/16 Mileage 186450
Service (engine oil, ATF, filters, plugs)
Radiator temp sensor replaced following false dash readings
Throttle body replacement following ETS error
O2 sensors x2 replaced following lambda readings EML error
Full PCV kit replacement following recovery after limp mode

30/5/16 Mileage 187794
Front brake calipers replaced following caliper seized
Lower boost pipe replaced following split pipe
Replace all engine vacuum pipes as precaution

30/10/16 Mileage 189785
MOT failure. Undertaken various repair works
Repair exhaust (discovered catalytic converter possibly faulty)
Crankshaft oil seal replaced to remedy oil leak
Camshaft seal replaced to remedy oil leak
Water pump kit replaced

ARB stabiliser droplinks replaced
Service (engine oil, ATF, filters, plugs)
4x new Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetrics fitted

11/3/17 Mileage 190801
Suspension top mounts replaced following suspension noise and knocking steering on turning
Radiator replaced following pinhole leak
Transmission oil cooler pipes replaced as part of radiator change

8/4/17 Mileage 191074
Cat removed due to failure, temp repair decat in place until full exhaust or replacement downpipes can be sourced. EML remains on due to lambda readings
Discovered power steering reservoir needs changing as its bloated and is misting in that area.
Intermittent ETS error. No fault found, and no difference in running vehicle except cruise control not operational when error is active. Research suggests possible brake pedal position sensor required to remedy intermittent ETS error.
Brand new rear tailgate hydraulic lifters fitted.

Points to consider
Will require at least a replacement catalytic converter (or replacement downpipe). The cat failed on me in April 2017 and I got a friend of mine to take it out and weld a temp repair pipe in place to get the car moving. It now runs ‘decat’ which throws an EML light on the dash.
Rear backboxes will need replacing as they are corroding in parts.
Bonnet paint not in the best condition. Paint has dulled for some reason.
Power steering reservoir needs changing. I have one ready to fit, but haven’t had the chance to make the change.
Body work in overall average condition, some light scuff marks on the bumpers, no rust anywhere to be seen!
Suspension and brakes looked brand new when I bought it, and have covered less than 6000 miles since.
Centre dash speaker not in use. Was removed as the magnet had broken and was rattling while driving. Original headunit was not present when I bought the car anyway. Under-seat amp powering door speakers is operational and works perfect.
Car will come with two boxes of assorted bits for the car, including full set of rear lights, full set of front lights, various trim bits.
