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

Towed @priacrow 's S60R down a few days ago

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

Just stopped at nhill

Damn! I sort of hoped I'd have dibs. Oh well.

Sorry, didn't realise you wanted it!

Things have been pretty quite in the Volvo department while I finish the sandman project.

I started to strip down the B234 in the 940, it looks like it will need some new exhaust valves.

The AC clutch pulley is pretty horrifying

Probably time to tidy the front yard lol, I'm hoping to get the front of the buliding painted soon. A designer is working on making up a logo for us, I think it will be a blue background with white lettering.

Ultimately I'd like to put a small hedge or garden in, which should make it look nicer and hide lights which can shine on the front of the buliding and signs.

All these will be going to scrap soon if anyone wants to any parts, most are already fairly stripped but there's some good parts left, lots of panels, I can probably also cut repair sections from shells. Located in Western Victoria

Tempting to come and have another look, but NOOOOO! I might find something I don’t need... :)

I quite often find things I don't need, like the pair of Volvos I'm picking up tomorrow.

I'm parting this out if anyone needs parts

My dad found some ocean race flags for me today, should look good in the workshop.

Picked up two 360GLTs today
