I am keen on lots of small parts like brake pressure sensor, left over charcoal interior bits, other small parts, brake controller, trim parts etc. Does it have tracs?

No worries. Leave this one with me. This is the primary reason for picking it up for me. I already have the majority of the grey interior parts I needed, but having a whole car to pick from will be handy.

There'll obviously be parts that are duplicates. How about I let you know what's left when I've gone through it and grabbed what I need?

Regarding TRACS, I'm actually not sure. Someone can chime in and confirm whether the T variants have TRACS like the T5, or I'll just let you know once I've picked it up.

Does this have the m44 ecu? I'd be keen on that, if it is?

Not sure but I'll keep the ECU, loom and engine together for a while so possibly not available. I'll update if this changes.

G'day
Are the ABS and sensors available? Please confirm price if so by PM.

Let me confirm they are functional/lights not on first. I'll likely pick it up next week. I'll keep you posted directly or update this thread (happy to do whatever is easiest)

I had a V70T in the colour as well but may have gone to Sims...

It was the hilariously fast one with big intercooler piping in RIP setup and big eBay intercooler with an MBC I just wound up a few times for fun, it pulled like a train down low.....

I'm picking this up on Tuesday but am away next weekend so I'll have a better understanding of it all over the Easter weekend.

Ill post some pics as soon as I have it.

AshDVS

Here's some pics. I don't yet have interior pics.

Hi Ash, I’m after some interior parts if you don’t need them & if they’re available? Namely the cup holder in the centre console lid, the gearshift surround & radio surround. I have wood grain in my C70 which I hate & would prefer plain grey if possible. Maybe the glove box lid too? Thanks

It is possible to chip off the wood look, if you need to scrape just sand it smooth and use plastic paint to get whatever finish needed.

I spent time doing beige to black years ago. And some Polestar Blue for effect in rear of wagon...

Hey George,

I'll let you know what state these are in once I've picked it up. Funny you should mention plain grey rather than woodgrain actually - I'm doing a swap to V70R aluminium trim in mine (from beige with woodgrain to grey with aluminium), but I have wondered if plain grey might simply look better again.

That said, I'm already committed to the aluminium as I'm going to build what is essentially a French/UK spec FWD V70R (they got FWD and AWD R models there, whereas we just got AWD R variants) from my V70T5, so the grey trim sections will be available.

GeorgeVolvo

Excellent - I’ll wait to hear from you, thanks for letting me know.

The aluminum trim was actually my preference but I can’t seem to find a set anywhere! If you change your mind I’d definitely be interested, otherwise may even consider wrapping the plain grey...

Thanks again & I look forward to swinging past & seeing what other goodies you have too ?

Is the ac compressor good Ash ? Willing to post ?

Not sure yet. I'll know later in the week (pickup is tomorrow).

The engine is spoken for already for another potential project. I'll let you know (following some discussion tomorrow) as to whether the compressor is required or not.

If it's ok and isn't spoken for, no problem to ship (happy to ship anything I can box up and send via AusPost).

AshDVS

No worries.

I ended up getting my aluminium trim set from the UK, though I did manage to pick up the V70R seats and blue dial cluster locally. V70R front and rear bumpers were locally sourced too.

A lot of the R bits and pieces are getting harder and harder to come by now. Last time I built a P80 V70, the desirable parts were more easily available.

Okay, no problem Ash , legend ?

AshDVS

I won't make any real progress on it this weekend as I'm away, but in the next couple of days I will better understand what I have and what is usable/available.

I'll throw a heap more pics in here too and then go back to the start of the comments and reach out to those that asked about things to work out what they need and if required bits are available.

AshDVS

Picked it up tonight.

I'll take more pics of it next week when it's not dark outside.

Hi Ash if the paint is good, can I put my name on the rear bumper, possibly front, passenger side fender, driver's door panels and plastic trim strip at the center of the drivers side rear door_ or perhaps the door depending on price.. They would be pickup.

I will also look over my car this week for anything else, it has sat a while and my memory is rusty.

AshDVS

Paint on the front bumper is ordinary, particularly on the RHS. Structurally though, it's fine, but it has made sweet-love to many carpark blocks, been bumped against things etc.

Rear bar is better and is reasonably presentable. Passenger side guard has clear coat peel on the top surface but is straight. I'll have a look at the doors next week and post up some pics.

All of the body stuff is available - I'll need to remove the interior first before I take doors off it as I don't want the interior to get exposed to the weather.

Regarding ABS and sensors, are you after the wheel sensors? If so, yes I can remove them for you.

Regarding the ABS/TRACS module (car has both TRACS and ABS) - Im not sure on this yet.

AshDVS

@GeorgeVolvo -

Centre console lid is decent but the cup holder insert/cartridge is broken.

The glovebox look looks good (agreed, its easier to swap the lid rather than remove and refit the trim insert)

The shifter surround looks fine other than needing a clean, same with the stereo surround. In short everything you need to swap to grey plastic from fake wood is there and appears to be reasonable.

I took another pic before we headed home last night but didnt post it up, so here it is. I'll head out to where I have it stored next week and take some more decent photos, as I start removing things.

Looks good to me! Let me know how much for the stuff & if all good then I’ll be happy to swing passed at your convenience to grab them.

Looks like there are some other goodies too I may be interested in.

Thanks for getting back to me & for all of the pics ?

Ahh , the joys of unglued door inserts that are nigh impossible to fix...

The falling down kick panels with spindley plastic bits that crumble , geezo , Volvo really did one on us with this junk.....

Loving the P3 FOR NONE OF THE ABOVE!

My nostalgia nearly kicked in for a P80 to give the daughter , id rather lose my dough on the P3 and give her that!

Hahahahah.

Have fun with this homage to FWD V70R!

Ex850R

USA got an AWD S70R.....
