Off topic, but the M41 gearbox, would one from a 740 be any use to you? Not sure if its M41, I think they are M47 but it is 4sp OD

Why restore it? Kep it rat-rod - think about amount of moneys you will save

A couple of rolls of duct tape should do the trick

???? Don't know what you mean.

There were some good parts on it. I'm stripping what I can off it so the carcass can go away sooner rather than later. The Mrs. was not impressed with this one but doesn't say much if they are parked out of sight from the road or the house.

Not a huge haul of parts but some rare items and better than letting the whole thing rust into the ground.

Man that's rusty, how old is that car. Is it a Jensen or a bit later?

"The Mrs. was not impressed with this one....."
Wow, she is almost as narrow minded as my DW!

“Ticket” is slang for the yearly MOT tests that vehicles over 3 years old have to undergo in the UK (to confirm that they’re vaguely roadworthy and not likely to fall apart).

Tell your missus that you’ll buy her a new pair of shoes: she’ll be so busy deciding what she wants that she’ll magically forget your ‘slightly rusty’ Volvo that’s parked outside.

Don’t blame me if it doesn’t work though!

Are you interested in selling the front bumper? If you happen to have both sides...
Also interested in the door handles
