More Volvoless SVM collection capers...

[cms206]

I am on foot to collect more dreadful shit. Updates when I get jumped/stabbed/break down on the half mile collection run.

[dome]

Is it an Alfa?

Nope.

After this, you just need find a goalkeeper and you have the entire football team.

I'd need the other ten to work first.

[Ghosty]

If anyone's been reading the right threads they'll know what this is already.

[cms206]

Aye. Not really a surprise as such but this is the first collection I've walked to in ages.

[cms206]

Cashpoint achieved. Pounds removed. Last stage...

[brickwall]

*waiting

[cms206]

Tahdah!

 

(Kidding. Nearly there)

 

[cms206]

BOOM!

 

We're here!

 

[cms206]

... and it's home. No pez station shot 'cos it's got about a third of a tank in it. Goes much quicker than I expected, cambelt, water pump and clutch done at last MOT. Some* history included... just need to find a nearside mirror and a drivers door window. Pretty pleased though!

[skattrd]

If it moves under it's own power that's a start ... I can't help with spares, but the Cleland home for elderly PSA/XUD might be worth a shot.

[Skizzer]

I've just remembered I had a girlfriend who drove a D-reg 205, which was nearly new back then. An XR I think. Happy days. (Well, they were until she dumped me for a surfer from Llangyfelach.)

more info pls and 1st dibs when you get bored/fix volvo

 

bad that this works and the famed swedish reliables dont

[Inspector Morose]

Hear that gentle thrumming sound? Getting louder, is it? Well that's the sound of Chaseracer in the blue seated 205 of wonder slowly thrumming up the M6 on his way to collect spares.

[cms206]

Just had a quick nosy through the pile of paperwork with it... the old boy who owned it 1991-2014 has documented every single penny he spent on it. 2004 was a bumper year where he apparantly spent a four figure sum!

Mine has a brown interior. Apart from the drivers seat which is blue.

 

 

Broke the news to MRS_CMS by abandoning it on MUTHA_IN_LAW_CMS driveway. She hasn't said much yet about castration but she wants kids so I should be safe for a bit yet.

I'm sure he could have got bumpers for less than that. Ha ha! Sorry.

[cms206]

Jesus.

 

[cms206]

It's had a bath and a valet...

[3VOM]

Think I have a 205 nearside door mirror. Will check in the morning.

[KruJoe]

Nice*

Our Will might have a mirror too, though I'm not sure if he has any of the Mk1 shape. Surely a blanking plate is the way forward?

I'll tell you now he won't have a door glass - he's never had a more-door, apart from the mental blue one which he returned to sender earlier this year.

[Lord Sterling]

Looks great. Don't see many early 205s anymore. I'll bet it'll look like a seriously clean looking motor if you get those wings Beiged' up.

[Junkman]

Jayzuz fucked is this gopping.

Mucho wantage.

[Angrydicky]

That looks great. Apart from it being a nasty diesel that is. Well purchased!
