Default New Australian member but long time volvo owner

Hi All

I have owned the following volvos
82 244GL with B23E and M45
86 760GLE with B28F and AW71
89 740Ti with B230ft and M47
Link to the 740Ti
http://www.cardomain.com/ride/215194...lvo-700-series
I also have a 71 164 resto project with 78000miles

I currently own a 96 5 series BMW It will soon be sold
I Have bought a 82 244GL to replace the BMW

Some members may know me from turbobricks

Some details on the 82 244GL

I bought the car from a deceased estate sale. The car has 53000Km with full history the car has been sitting for 6 years in a garage 200m from the coast

Plans for the car before registering it
Replace All fluids and filters
Remove complete fuel system and flush it
replace the flexi brake lines
fix the surface rust from the car sitting
fit lowering springs
paint black and fit the 17 inch TSW rims from my old 740Ti
Upgrade to 6 panel taillight and reflector
Upgrade to GLE/Turbo exterior black trim from chrome

The car has white paint with a immaculate blue cloth interior

I will make a photo album and link it here in the next few days

Welcome to VF. Your 244 looks great. No rust and barely any miles. Lucky you.
