I always thought the later ones dropped the c90 name and just called them a cub,   if they are now worth that much I think I will buy this one offered to me for 600 quid last month.

Snap their hand off for 600 quid!

This outer sills was full of filler. I'm not entirely sure why they welded a patch next to it but decided to fill and fiberglass the section next to it.

The welding and fabrication could be better but overall I'm just happy to be making progress.

Went and took some "advert" pics earlier, not really sure if I want to sell or not. I might fire it onto car and classic at an inflated price and see if there's any interest... Looks good.

I reckon that’s still a bargain at your inflated price. If I hadn’t just bought a modern daily for a Glasgow commute i might have persuaded the boss we have drive space!

What's the plan for it @paulplom?

I've no idea. I saw it a while back and it brought back a lot of happy memories. I had a spare few quid after selling the transhit so I thought why not.

I'm going to be running around on it short term. No idea yet whether I'll sell it later or just garage it for the future.

A mate's just paid £400 for this. 2.0tdi quattro. He was messaging yesterday to see if I had any smoke bombs for the air intake so it must be fucked in some way 🤣

A quick look on the mot history and it's pretty clean although 160k on it. I offered him £500 but he declined. Cunt.

Since you like these, I can recommend the youtube channel C90 adventures if you have not seen it.

Sold the ts50 today and will be buying a Corolla tomorrow...

Corolla hasn't been delivered yet and with some cash burning a hole in my pocket I went to see this.

Volvo 480es 2.0 auto, took it for a spin and it drove fine, interior was a bit plasticy and rattled a lot. 

it's advertised at £1250 but I didn't have the means to take it away so didn't buy it.

I am still thinking about it but not 100% sure I really want it...

The 504 appears to be leaking from the slave cylinder again, I replaced the cylinder and seals when I bought it but looks like I need to change the seal again.

Whilst underneath I spotted a crispy looking bit on the passenger floor.

I poked some more and some more bits fell off.

Now it needs the floor welded plus inner and outer sills...

 

Shite.

This day is getting worse as it goes on, took Ged up to collect the 205 in Forfar and I think the Cortina has blown a seal in the diff.

Will I make it back?

Who knows....

Good news! The diff is fine.
