Hi Dan, Hingham eh, a local no less.

The handling parts are more modern kit and PeteT5 has first shout on them at the moment, but if interested you would be second in the queue.I have only just got photo's to him over the weekend.

I have IPD front and rear anti roll bars, which are powder coated in red, a Pair of Bilstein HD rear shocks almost new and 242 tower strut braces withthe strengthning plates, as said Pete has first shout on these and also a genuine 240 rear sploiler.

The spoiler is with a local Volvo enthusiast who wanted to size it up on his 144s so i'm just awaiting a decision from him if he want's it or not.

I do not have two full turbo kits as such, I bought a TAD sport Volvo a couple of years ago which had a kit fitted to it years before, it had R sport front shocks (i'm told) I almost bought the entire car for the R sport Turbo gauge you can see in my photo's.

The car was not pretty, and was one of those unusual Volvo's where the Tin worm had eaten the bottom two inches of the car all the way round! but I drove it for 6 months on and off, then broke it, I retained the front legs, exhaust parts, and turbo kit, which is buried deeply in the rear of my garage.

I'm pretty sure that this was not a full kit as you see in my brochure photo but i believe the owner made up certain bits to get over this, he also bought up the part kit you see in the phto's, which as you can see is still mint and boxed.

The 240 handling parts are going to be sold for sure, as I practically gave away my Mint one owner 1989 GLT a few weeks ago, and I popped my Amazon up on 'Fleabay' last night, it pains me but I have not used it for months and simply didnt have time to see all my Volvo projects through.

I have kept both 16v B234 engines and 531 head etc, and have decided to stick to one single project (as far as cars go that is) and tweak up my 940 Turbo Sports+.

I hope to fit a Jetex exhaust I have maybe with the 531 head once ported and polished etc and maybe fit Freds chips?( I look for advice on this) since the car is my daily driver I will get a lot more use out of it.

I am not sure what to do with the R sport kit, I know for sure it's 'uber' rare, and notice how much a single R sport gauge is up for last night on German ebay, all of this started with wanting one good Amazon, and ended in 9 Volvo's (gulp)

I must admit I fell in love with the Amazon Kimchella had (has) for sale, but must stop here, I just have not got the room.

By all means come and have a look and a cuppa Dan, this applies to any Volvo fans, the rare manuals and paperwork are well worth a read.
