  • [SOLD][Sydney] Metallic Green '89 245GL (now with pics)

This wagon is the best wagon ever. The interior is authentic and delicately worn-in by only the most refined Volvo enthusiasts. The power window switches are labelled "Electric Antenna Up/Down". The centre console has been smashed to oblivion by Mjolnir, the hammer of Thor, and the wheels have been replaced by other, non-Volvo (hisss) wheels, though I will concede they look mad awesome and radical.

The car runs great, handles really well (there seems to have been a lot of work put into firming up the suspension), the gearbox takes pride in its work. The interior is vaguely presentable, though a new centre console and some floor mats would spiff it up quite nicely.

Tyres are all in decent nick, maybe 50-60%

Photos to follow in the morning.

Generally speaking, if you want a car that will get you places, can haul a lot of cargo around and smell really good when you have fresh box of Krispy Kreme on the passenger seat, this is the car for you.

$1500 (negotiable) with 6 months rego and cold A/C.













The volvo add get better all the time , but the cars perhaps not.
Nice wheels , are they volvo?
@supermattyp I used Sikaflex to stick down that piece of trim on the driver's door. Am I a bad person or is that acceptable practice?
Isn't Sika a supplier to the automotive industry.
Yeah but the trim was originally held in by clips.
Shhh now , it has brought the car into modern times and practice's...............
I can't wait to see how this turns out.

That's what I would've done as well. The interior cleaned up pretty well once I was able to vacuum it with the seats out. I just didn't have a good vacuum. A matching set of wheels is always a good thing as well!

You were able to get the AC gassed up and blowing cold as well? That's awesome. How does she run now with the new tune-up?
I'm still waiting on R12->R134a adapters for the A/C, but once I have them I expect I'll get it blowing cold no problem.
oh awesome. I wasn't sure if it was as simple as that or not. Billy Ed told me it was blowing cold not too long ago so I'm guessing it's simple as well.

How did the seats turn out?
Yeah the seats fit nicely. They're nice enough :P
i cleaned them up the best I could. They could do with a lot of elbow grease and leather conditioner.

A guy at work seems interested in this if I fix the dash and swap on some steelies for him. I'll keep you posted.
As in like swap in a non-cracked dash? I can put steelies on it with centre caps if that's what he wants.
Wait! What? Why??? I weep for the future...
