I'm pretty sure the engine the reason he's got that Caprice standing there. It's a donor car for his silly project...

Well, someone must have installed that engine somewhen, because Chevy didn't.

The Volvo has piqued my interest (surprise!). If it's not gone, I can swing it and it doesn't bother you, I might tidy it up, run it a bit and sell it on into enthusiast circles. Looks a good'un, and the MOT history suggests low miles and decent enough condition.

I don't want to cut across your plans Ghosty but would the Volvo make a good forum 'bike'?

I'm happy to put some money in to get it back on the road.

I'm new to this sort of thing so how does the insurance side of things work?

I've spoken to still orange about the Volvo. It's a grand car and he would like it to stay in the circle so to speak. Insurance is too costly for me though,that and it being a saloon means mobility scooter won't fit!

It's obviously not as great as it was, being stood for close to 2 years now I think.
