Adam's volvo 242 nonsense

[adomz]

Hey!

I thought i will start a new thread. So, a few years passed aftrer i sold the hachi to a new owher, and actually made profit on it of around 10%, i was just using my 1991 volvo 244 GL turbo ( that i coverted from 2.0 N/A to 2.3 turbo obviously) for daily duties, and i received a message on facebook from a friend back in Lithuania with a link to our online car marketplace and a note - Who's the first to buy, me, or you?

And then the shit got real!!

I will upload some pictures later, but the story of the car is this...

It's a 1981 Volvo 242 DL, 2.3 carbed and 4 speed manual box.

In the 1999 the guys father that sold the car to me bought it off a lorry that came from Sweden. Then he drove it for a few years, did a couple of rallies in it and when the MOT/tech inspection ran out parked in the garage in 2002... And then i saw the advert on the net that my friend sent me and bought it in 2015!!!! :O Yes, 13 years in the garage!

But it has alot of bad things!! RUST, that's the most common thing in cars i have bought... Remember that Levin i had? Well, that's a bit better!

Anyway, that's what i got!

I'll update this from time to time when i get time, but as of now it's stored in one of the garages (yes, i have lived up to a good chance to rent a garage from the local council and also have a double garage at a place where i live) nearby, waiting for the garage at my house to free up so work can start and progress can be made!

Well, pics are coming whenever i can pull my finger out and upload them somewhere...

As of now the car is partly missing the front end because i have sold the engine and gearbox to a friend, and all the front end is in the boot of the car.

I think that's it for now.

Adam

P.S

It's cool to see people are still keeping the hachis going! Damn i miss mine!!
