Since the sale of Grovey & the gold 75 I've been splashing out on my Volvo, it's had a full repaint with new genuine Volvo wings & rear bumper & lots of other trim bits etc.

But I have also purchased a very scruffy Solar Red ZT Diesel with a view to making it mechanically sound & de-lousing the interior & running it as winter transport to preserve the Volvo & the 260

Cool

The Volvo is looking good Colin. So the diesel should scrub up well.

Cheers Bob, I'm very pleased with it. I don't think the ZT will ever look that pretty, but I will gradually improve it's appearance as time goes on just to make it a bit less unloved

I think it was about May, I just made a snap decision & popped an ad on here & it was sold in 20 minutes..................I kind of regret it now but it released the money to sort my beloved Volvo
