timbo I bought this car from the original owner (probably 6-8 years ago) and then sold it to a friend of mine. It was a special order in manual so it's an unusual spec for Australian market with 10 valve engine, cloth interior and manual climate control. I've continued to service it and have recently replaced front shocks and some driveshaft boots, it's due for a timing belt, cosmetically a few scrapes and bumps. A/C still works, just ran out of rego. Cloth seats have split, rest of interior is pretty solid.It's been returned to me with a slipping clutch. Seems like it would make a perfect manual donor, but i'm tempted to fix it. This model is super reliable.Would rather sell complete but could wreck it if someone is particularly keen on the manual parts and the$$$ are worth my time. Gearbox is an M56H with 4.00 final drive and concentric slave cyl.
Philia_Bear How much if you fix the clutch (I provide a full clutch kit) and you make sure the aircon is ice cold?
timbo ramrod Do you reckon it would drive to Sydney easily?Hmm possibly would make it...it was driven to Canberra from ulludulla and made it.Philia_Bear How much if you fix the clutch (I provide a full clutch kit) and you make sure the aircon is ice cold?A/C is nice and cold, I'll chuck it on the hoist and make a list of issues so you can make a more informed decision.. I think it's mostly rear shocks/mounts and a noisy outer c.v joint

zyonshep Hey mate I am after some manual parts. If you end up planning to sell it I am happy to buy the whole car.
timbo @OvlovDoog yes still got it at my work in Phillip. I'll be staying back late tomorrow arvo/evening if you want to have a look.
MostlyBritish Hi Tim - This looks like just the thing to un-break my heart, as I sold my manual 850 wagon to a friend and he very unreasonably refuses to sell it back!!! Let me know if she is still available.CheersRichard
timbo Hi richard@MostlyBritish it's still available, but I'm gonna be out of action for a few more days with covid, and am heading to Qld for a funeral on Sunday. Will definitely be back at work on tuesday 16. Could possibly be back on Thurs/Fri this week...Are you an A.C.T local?
MostlyBritish Ah - the dreaded covid strikes again! What a pain for you.Not local, I'm in Melbourne actually, and the work stuff that just popped up means I am tied up this week as well... Maybe easiest to get in touch after you return from Queensland.
zyonshep Hey mate I know it’s been a while but is there any chance that silver v70 is still available? Very interested if it is. Thanks.
timbo I couldn't sell it so I threw a clutch at it, did a solid stage zero and have been using it as a daily for the last six months. Can mods close this thread
Chopper4 Hey @timbo it's Guy (from Canberra) you used to service my C30. I'm looking to sell my C30 and wouldn't mind a chat. Let me know if you're free. Cheers
