Superb looking car, hope it sells quick

I like what you've done to the car, it looks really fresh!

I have to ask though, them taillights; did you convert them to red signals and if so, how with the orange?

Edit - just read, red candy paint! Not really up my street in terms of DIY, but it's good to know. Any vehicle I've owned I've wanted to convert amber to red as it looks much cleaner.

That is one os the nicest UK pre 1980 200 series cars I have ever seen. Needs to be turbo'd though whoever buys it

EDIT: That used to Simon Wards car! It was on ebay a few months ago wasnt it!

First off I must say you've done amazingly with the Volvo... Is it still for sale? How does the engine run?

Hi, just read through your retro rides thread in more detail - are the side trims and headlamp wiper washers still available for sale?
