A very nice & tidy Volvo.

Good job with all those parts.

God I wish I could do the same to mine:

- some nice & new alloys

- coilovers all round

- a turbo engine.

Nice car and worth more than £700 !!

I'm biased because I own a F reg' 240 GLT saloon, dark grey, black leather & man' gearbox !!

Getting rarer and slowly going up in value, classic car insurance £150 ish, good parts supply, owners club, useable as an everyday driver or weekend car and easily fixed ( no catalysts, complcated electics etc) !!!!!

Good luck with yours.

Cheers Jim

Looking forward to the outcome of this, i think the Rota's will look rather nice. It'll give me some idea for wheel size on mine (same colour saloon) , i was thinking of going down the 16" route, but will wait and see.

ted242 · Feb 20th, 2013, 21:57

ive gone for the 17"s because i want to run s60r callipers with xc90 discs which i believe are 360 mm for some serious stopping power . otherwise i to would have gone for 16"s. im sure it will look fine

ted242 · Feb 22nd, 2013, 18:15

new discs in the face of my 14" dino rims and in front of the 17" rotos 336mm thats a disc
