Darcy's 1987 740 Turbo

irishbastard

Hi everyone,
I bought this a few weeks ago

Good points:
One previous elderly owner
One owner car
Not a good point but the car is from a deceased estate, I bought the car off his son (A mechanic), I went to look at the car with @aussiebastard‌ ,
The 740T needed a clean up but the paintwork looks nice now as does the interior, it does need the driver seat replaced though

Lovely colour and nice rims!

irishbastard

Yep Thanks @Vee_Que‌ and @OldnDecrepit‌

On the top of everything I got the car offered to me at the time for $150.00 and I accepted it straight away

OldnDecrepit

Good price - how come I never see them up here at that price?
Is there much to do inside?

irishbastard

A few interior bits, I've gotta get the drivers seat re trimmed, Needs the inner door handle inserts, the sunroof seal is perfect too, it needs a glove box as well, the interior is like brand new apart from the drivers seat as there was only 1 old guy that drove this car and however he did appear to accidentally cut him self, so I've been scrubbing and scrubbing to remove all of the blood from the sun visors and centre console, theirs also a few drops on the carpet and drivers seat

He didn't have Ebola did he? That's the sort of symptoms , blood everywhere....

irishbastard

Hopefully not @Ex850R‌, The owners been dead for months, lol
And besides if he did, then @aussiebastard‌ has it too, :p

I cut and polished the roof today the paint came up like new with minor scrubbring

irishbastard

So far it needs shockers and a few other bits and pieces, nothing too major though, it'll be very easy to get to roadworthy spec

Yep I know, I've spent a bit of money on it already I would let it go for 600 to a volvo club member as long as they look after it
