Talking Newb w/240 lovin it

Hello everyone,

My name is Kevin and I was given a 1990 240 because it did not run. I am a first time Volvo owner! Well, I got the car to run with a new battery and some GAS! How lucky I am huh? I am totally diggin the car and the amount of things I can fix up. Problem is, specific things are broken and they are hard to find.

I hope to make some friends on here and get some knowledge about the car and where to shop for parts.

Welcome to the forum. Try www.vandsautodismantlers.com as well as ebay and this forum for parts. Also www.fcpgroton.com might be able to help. There are more parts available than you think.

Default Could this be true???

@jks2 Thanks man! Those links will help a lot!
@Somthngfrce I will def upload pics when I get a chance.


Ok so I don't know if this is going to work out yet but I've passed a 240DL that has been in the same spot for the last couple of years so I decided to talk to the people that own it and see what there plans were. The guy told me it was his father's car and they will probably pay someone to take it off. They have some title trouble so that might be what prevents me from getting ANOTHER FREE 240!

The car will look pretty sweet once i get all the leaves and pollen off it and wash the thing. Who knows what it will take to get it running again.
