vulgalour Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Well that's a totally different song. Billy Joel wasn't singing about white weddings, she was singing about off-white weddings. Elton John wrote the chorus for that one too, you know. stonedagain and Skizzer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'1971 volvo 164 3.0 £1,595 Watlington, Norfolk 1971 manual 3.0 volvo 164 rare car, for restoration but i will say the bodywork chassis ,is solid . off road since 1990 before the new road tax laws, its not a historic car i have new v5 but i need to change to historic under process . i have some history old handbook, keys. got the car started on fuel can whats in the petrol tanks too old. drove back forth no problem happy to demonstrate here. needs brake work, electrics sorting , interior tired but its all there plus many spares in boot . someones started the project but nothing major removed only inner door handles some interior bits all in boot . paints old and faded but no rot on any doors pillars scuttles, good project . delivery possible' Someone called Clive Moss. It's on Facebook but I recall you saying you're not on there. Anyhow, get it bought! That's lovely, but I already have one 164 with dodgy brakes - buying another would be a bit daft. Although this one will have the earlier non-vented discs which are a lot easier to get bits for... Cavcraft and Amishtat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuvvum Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Cheap Locost project. Quote Originally intended for small block Chevy and Powerglide so heavier duty tube used. Bloody hell, I'd hate to see what the lighter duty tubing looks like. Put a 350 in that and it'd tie itself in a knot. scdan4, Fat_Pirate, Burnside and 3 others 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the three I have got, (all working) I wish I could hide away at least the two I'm not using / playing with. Dead and rotting cars outside? Yuck. They belong under cover, being cared for. Or in the shredder. Why havn't we all got enough garage space? Rant mode - off. the simple fact is not everyone want's or needs a garage, and I'll be frank here if I had a garage, well I did and it was full of old car and crap, I'd just see it as an extra place to keep more old cars. My herald has spent 10 years outside, it's very sad but I do genuinely love the car even if it looks a little unloved! Jerzy Woking 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That steering wheel cover needs to be launched in the bin, and replaced with nice pair of driving gloves. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fiat-130-Coupe/143408491769?hash=item2163cfecf9:g:gf4AAOSwKc5doFmH Dick Longbridge, HarmonicCheeseburger, catsinthewelder and 18 others 19 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Norfolk Watlington still very much has a station (I went through it last week), but sadly no longer is a junction for the line from Wisbech. tooSavvy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doug Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Went to look at this today. Chassis in great condition. The interior dirty but would clean up no problem. Could not get the engine to turn over so possibly seized with sitting. Still wanted it but put my bid in too early and was out bid.
