Dad and I towed the 760Turbo down this morning, good to finally have it under cover.

I drove the orange 244 down today, I'm pretty keen to get this registered. It has a genunie 84.000Ks and is in amazing original condition. The first job is to paintthe original steel wheels and put them back on.

@Ben they're talking about you

They’ll get bored soon enough ?

Great to see the business taking shape!

@DCW242 is that orange 244 the one that was in albury with damage to the rear side panel? I was super tempted to buy it, glad it found a good owner.

Is your plan with all these cars to have them because they're cool, or to fix them up and eventually re-sell them?

Thanks @Ben

@240 this is a different one, it lived in Brunswick it's whole life until I got it, it use to belong to a volvo club member in vic.

I plan to keep most of the cars, a few will be for sale eventually. Ideally I'll get them onto club rego, but it will take a long time to get them all back on the road.

I drove the 262 here as well, it hasn't been driven in almost a year but it went well.

Look forward to following your progress and hope all goes well with the business.

    Great workshop space!

    It'd be great to have a small space on the mezzanine for a bedroom and lounge, etc.

      I had thought about that but ended up finding a suitable house, lounge is a tempting idea though.

      Hi @DCW242

      Are you offering project car storage at this stage? Say for 6 or 12 month blocks or even month-to-month?

        Sorry for the slow reply. Space has become a bit tighter than we expected, my parents have a property in western Victoria, a few days ago the council told us we can't use it for car storage anymore and it has to be tidied. Meaning we have to tow about 15 cars to the warehouse, we've been doing this over the last few days.

        I'll let you know about storage options once we have things a bit more organised.

        242GT and 242DL towed down over the last few days

        Wow bummer about the storage situation out at the “farm”. I have a feeling your warehouse is going to fill to capacity with all those cars! :) I’m hoping I have buyer for the 87 240GL so that will mean no more cars outside...until the next one comes along! ;)

          I think it will be pretty full soon. That 240 is the identical spec to what I bulit my 240GLT from, it's a rare colour.

          We just towed one of the other 262Cs down

          7 days later

          Adelaide was good, I didn't get to post many updates while we were here since we were pretty busy, we drove there on Thrusdsy and spent Friday checking out the wreckers and the city, then went to dinner at the water.

          Some of the places we stopped on the way

          Found some good stuff at the wreckers

          And @priacrow old S60R auto, it was pretty strnage seeing this in the wreckers when I use to work on it and it was stored at my house, I removed some of the parts I fitted to It years ago, I got both bumpers and all 4C shocks as spares for my S60R. A lot of it was already gone.

          The view from the restaurant was pretty good

          Then went and picked up @kwikbrik 's 940GLE

          Towing it through the hills was interesting

          Is the 940GLE for repairs? Did you buy?

            Is the 940GLE for repairs? Did you buy?

            Yep we bought it, it will definitely get repaired, it's done 199Km and the body is pretty tidy, the Inteior needs a bit of work and the oil pump bolt has snapped so it has a few bent valves.
