Well, due to a major change in life circumstances, it's sadly no longer practical for me to keep two cars, so it's time for someone else to enjoy Veronica. She's an '89 240 GL (but with most of the GLE kit) wagon, in coveted M47 (5 speed) factory manual.
I'd like to sell her as a complete package, with all of the fancy pants mods and spares. If there's no interest at this price, I'll consider selling the rarer parts separately, and returning her to a stock GL.
Location: Balwyn, VIC. Seeking somewhere around $2.5k for everything below, but happy to cut a deal for a fellow OzVolvist. Would of course prefer her to go to an enthusiast rather than be cannibalised...
I'll update the thread with more specific images on the weekend when I have some time.
The good:
> B230F in excellent condition
> M47 in perfect condition (no whine in 5th at all)
> Mechanically perfect
> Tyres are all good (2 are nearly new)
> Aftermarket bluetooth/USB/aux stereo (as the original tape deck was rooted)
The bad:
> Both front guards (wings) have minor dents
> Clear-coat on the roof and bonnet is rooted
> Car was a barn find 3 years ago, so it comes with no history (other than what I've done/had done to it)
> Aircon system is present but not functioning (assume needs gassing, but not verified)
> Couple of minor cracks in dash (totally crack free dash = unicorn supplied with sale)
> Front door pockets missing (though I have a mint passenger side one, just not fitted) and handbrake console is slightly snapped
Mods:
> All internal bulbs are now LEDs
> Fuel pump relay hack (to take strain off expensive Volvo relay)
> Repainted black steelies + 2 piece Volvo hub caps (excellent)
> GLE leather gear boot (black, mint)
> GLE wood trim insets in dash (original trim supplied)
> GLE gauge set (vacuum, volt, ambient temp, all fully working)
> Original 240 snow mats in beige (excellent)
> Black chin spoiler (original supplied with car)
> Headlight protectors (mint)
Replaced:
