bigal Considering a roof rack for my 145 for that extra vintage look. I am only interested in the style that attaches to the rain channels so it can be attached and removed fairly easy and after one with timber slats. Pic of the style I'm after..
1971_144GL I have seen similar period and style at the Launceston Tip Shop, could then add the wooden slats for the final appearance?
Tassie6er If you see a second one, grab it for me please! There used to be a Green 145 in Hobart with one.
bigal Found the volvo part number for the 145 roof rack.. 281376. These dudes have it but have emailed to confirm.. http://volvoonderdelen.com/145/Accessories/Roofrack-145-For-Volvo-601381/ And some info on the rack from an old catalogue..
Tassie6er Wow, I'm keen, but imagine the cost of shipping it Australia. The guy with the blue 245 had one on his, wonder if he still has it....
bigal If they confirm it's available I am tempted to slap it on the credit card and stress about it later. Would be great to have the 100% period correct one. I love things original.
bigal I could sell you those original 245 steel wheels and put the money towards the rack. They are the wagon wheels being 5.5" wide. Good tyres. 2 are new.
bigal My brother had first option on them but he managed to find a set of those very rare momo vagas so these steelies need a good home. You had 2nd option so they are yours. What's a fair price u think?
bigal I was thinking around that also. I'm not out to rip anyone off and would like to see them on the right volvo. Done.
bigal Coming on the volvo camp up great lakes? Check out the event section. Would be great to catch up.
