Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

Has anyone repaired a plastic diesel tank before? Exhaust rotted off a machine and burnt a few small holes in the fuel tank.

(not a car, won't be going anywhere near the road)

@Dammit time to buy another Volvo? https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/1996-volvo-850-r

Don’t like the sound of that one, probably a lemon with a shady seller

Wait is it actually "Of this manor"?

Belongs (belonged?) to @NurseHolliday

It’s my old, and NH’s current, car.

And yes, I do keep checking on how it’s doing in the auction. It’s a stupendous bargain currently

It is.

Annoyingly I currently have a company car, in a years time I am handing it back and planning to get a "fun" estate car, this ticks all the boxes and is well under budget.

See if the por15 kit that frosts sell can be used.

Ordered some kit from Blue steel(?) which supposedly can handle diesel, fifteen quid. I think you'd need a fork lift to get the tank out so it better work

Beauty and the beast … brave 911 colour choice .. but it just works

Yeah as a couple have said already, it's mine, and previously was Neil's.

Life has been a bit up and down recently and I've not really been able to be on the forum very much so I apologise to anyone who previously said they were interested in owning it after me and to anyone I promised to contact before I sold it.

I chose to put it on CC not purely out of a desire to get the most money. It's normally the forum thing to pass on a favour when a fellow forumer has done you a favour. I just really wanted to see what the CC experience was like and what the car's potential was.

Also, the bill for the 2.4 block was quite large and I was unemployed so I'd really like to claw some money back.

Also remember how much trouble Neil had with flakey buyers last time? I was not keen to have a repeat of that.

Don’t think anyone can blame you there tbh. Nice to pass it on when you can - but if you need the cash I think it’d be a bit odd to honour forum dibs over personal financial security.

100%. I would love to see the car make 20k+ on CC.

I don't think there's any risk of that.

True, but a man can dream.

would love to bump this dude. hope it gets last minute flurry

I guess the market decided. Oh well.

Bought by a dealer who I assume is going to do a shit repaint and sell for triple the money.

Ah man that’s tough, such a great car.

Crayon with Bordeaux leather will be all the rage one day

Wow thought it would go for more. Sorry to see.

There was a Japanese import, in yellow, that did not have the spec nor modifications that yours had up for 15k.

I'm going to bet nothing and just put a few grand on the price. Seems the norm.
