7x 240s for parts from 1980-1990 sedans and wagons, auto and M46, pick up Daylesford VIC

Thank you Greg, that seat looks like something I can use. I hit up Volvohordz and he thinks he has some brown door hardware but id be keen to take both lots of parts to make up a good set.

I am hopefully heading down to Yarram over the Christmas break so could probably swing by on the way home with the van and pick everything up.

Sounds good. I will hold the brown rear seats for you and you can go thru all the brown door cards etc and pick out any you think you can use. I started removing all the door trims yesterday and as expected the front cards in particular are rotten on the bottom. Could replace with new board in lower half as that area is flat. But hopefully you can find some slightly better ones.

Took a bit of work to remove the final door panel - door latch was stuck. :) So I have 2 car-sets of brown door panels plus window winders, armrests, handles, pull handles and cups. As mentioned a couple of the door panels are pretty rotten.

Sorry no pics but I have a 2 full sets of side trim strips - early style stainless with rubber insert - in good condition. 1 set wagon, and 1 set sedan. Any interest, hit me up. No postage due to length. Will also have a set of the later style stainless/rubber from a sedan.

Hi Alex. Are you after early or late style. I have a pair of 91 tan seats decent condition, as well as a pair of tan seats from @AdrianH ’s 265GLE that aren’t too bad. Also a number of early brown seats but not sure how good they are. Lemme know what you’re after more specifically.

Early style - she's a 1980 245. The front drivers seat is getting pretty saggy and doing my back in. Brown would be ideal as I think that will be the colour match.

Well I think I have 3 early style cars here with brown seats, so probably could put together one good set from that lot...but you’d need to come down and have a look and pick up as they’re too heavy to consider shipping.

I thought you could buy the foam for the seats or get car seat foam and shape it to fit , any old car is going to have rubbish seats , or go Alfa Romeo ones.

Yeah I think you can buy new foam but it’s hideously expensive. I find you can either repair existing foam or use a passenger side foam to refurb a driver’s seat as the passenger seats usually aren’t as degraded.

Edit - saggy seat is typically the seat grid/springs broken or unhooked and/or lumbar mechanism broken. Need to pull seat out and de-trim to investigate. Fun stuff!

Will open her up and have a look, thanks

Hi Greg,

Do you have any later model front struts- the ones with the bigger stub axle? Post 1982, I believe.

Yes...would you be able to pick them up? If so, we can discuss a price. I don’t want to mess with postage on something that heavy. Let me know.

Sorry, I’m near Bathurst in NSW. I’ll look for some closer to home.

No worries. Happy to pull them and set aside if you can find somebody on here to pick them up.

Do you know if I’d need hubs too, or do the earlier ones fit? Probably easier to leave the hubs on anyway.

How much do you want for them?

Daylesford is between Ballarat and Bendigo, right? I can post later and see if anyone is coming by that way towards Sydney or central west, NSW.

Thanks

Look up E-Go couriers, they have depot everywhere, HUNTER transport runs it. Cheap , they can pick up for extra or drop at depot.

@jrhendo @carnut222 - I can drag these struts up to Lawson on my next trip north if that will help, this should be sometime in mid January unless Omicron becomes a handbrake.

Thanks - sounds like a plan. I’m going to need to hire a shipping container to store all your parts @Major Ledfoot LOL!

carnut222

Any last minute requests? I've contacted the scrap metal guy and cars will be picked up soon.

@carnut222 - The barge is booked. Should be there to pick up between Jan 10 and 15.

Any black handle bits that go on the lever to the air vent down in the foot well? Drivers side is it makes any difference.

Yes, I assume you mean the small rubber block that’s held onto the lever arm by a pushed-in pin?
