![]() Wait... You're taking a Volvo OUT of a scrap yard?
Damn. That's a truly righteous effort if I ever saw one.

![]() 2 miles? You are thinking g too hard.
2 tires, 4 rachet straps, 1 safety chain,done. Those bumpers aren't the strongest. |

![]() Take out your grill, hang a boat cushion on the front and push it home with another driver if the brakes work.

![]() My kind of project!
Over in the UK everything thats already in a scrap yard can't legally come back out (mostly...) and TBH once an old car is in there, its usually because its no longer made from metal. Struggling to find a worthy 145 (and there are no 122 here) that I won't spend 2 years cutting rust out of, seriously thinking of getting someone to send me a rolling shell from the US as shipping and duties will run to less than rot removal. |

![]() Thank you.
242- Just about everything was wrong with it. You can see more of it in my m3 build. Bring your 945 there to make them feel better Yup |
