Wonder if the thongs (in the drivers footwell) are a factory option

egads (she/her)

Nah, they come standard in Toowoomba. :-P

I'd almost take it just to pinch that nice interior and a couple of panels.

Rob

happy to store it at my place for a bit.

jamesinc

Nahh, I don't have $1500 to blow at the moment. Have two lots of rego coming up.

Tempting! Anyone have storage for rent around Brisbane? Just moved here from Sweden and I love those cars

Rob

I can store it

Doesn't look entirely horrible at all. Similar sort of state to my V70 when purchased.

jamesinc

Low miles too. That thing is a damn steal at $1500. If you set a budget of say $5k you could buy that and sort the issues out and maybe even get the paint fixed.

jagardh

It's mine guys! Looking forward to fix it up

Rob

Nice

jamesinc

@jagardh nice one! Welcome to club 850

egads (she/her)

Looks like a great car, good catch.

Excellent. Glad it found a home on here.

I'd think so too.
Might be possible to even luck onto some bolt-on panels to help avoid some of the paintwork.

Worth buying another car with good paint to use as parts car even.

This will be a ripper by the looks of it!

Well done!

jagardh

Thanks guys!
front right fender is pushed in and the bonnet has a bent on the corner the size of a 50 cent coin. I think i will focus on fixing it mechanically and then the outside :)
