Diverdonny G'day guys. This hurts me a lot but i think i need to pull the pin on my Volvo 144S DeLuxe. A few of you guys saw the car a couple of years ago but it came off the road and hasn't found its way back. I've just got a new job and won't be able to give it the effort or attention it needs for at least another year and a half. This car has service paperwork including the original purchase receipt and import papers from Europe, and service stamps from Sweden, Italy, Austria and more. It has a few uniquities about it since it's a LHD to RHD conversion. I'm the 3rd owner as far as i know and hate myself for how badly I've let this car down. It's in surprisingly good condition for how long it's sat still but definitely worth a resto when you take into account the history that comes with it. It's got a LOT of bog on the driver side rear corner and a smashed light and a patch of panel damage as big as your hand from being reversed into. The whole area will need to be stripped and debogged. The front end has a healthy smattering of bog too and the paint is awful to put it frankly, originally red but currently a gross mint green as done by the previous owner. There is a small amount of rust around the front window and at the rear near the drivers side buttcheek. It's a B20B with a blown rear crank seal in generally poor condition internally as far as i know. Being that I'm on base interstate at the moment I have no photos of it but if you send me a text, I'll get a friend to snap a few photos which I'll send to you either Wednesday or next weekend as i have very limited phone access. It pains me greatly to do this, but if someone picks the car up from Callala Beach near Nowra NSW and delivers a 6-pack of James Squire 150 lashes to my father I'll sleep soundly knowing she's in good hands. As mentioned, for more photos, message me on the number above. I'm sorry for bending the posting rules but it's a very awkward situation I'm in.
Diverdonny Here is an image from when i first got it that i dug up. It's deteriorated since then but will be a very nice vehicle if it goes to the right person. Im very sad.
egads (she/her) If someone pays for the trailer I can get it to Yass then on to pretty much wherever via cheap car transporter on the Hume.
Diverdonny Haven't had any texts guys. But yeah half a dozen beers for my old man to take the WRX parts out of it and you can tow her away on a trailer that arvo. Thanks for the interest so far :)
Diverdonny Exterior parts mostly sorry mate. Widebody guards, bumper, chassis bracing, etc. Accumulating a collection while I'm away :)
Diverdonny Bump. Car is free you guys and my folks are dangerously close to scrapping it. I'll be honest it's looking pretty ugly and now has a small amount of rust at the bottom of the front and rear windshields.
Diverdonny God I'd hate to see it scrapped. It's depressing enough how dilapidated it's gotten already, I'm very ashamed.
egads (she/her) Okey doke, I will hire a trailer and come grab it. Can it wait til the weekend after next?
