I thought it was about time we said "Hello" on here. I'm John and my Girlfriend is Sarah. We own several classics (and as my name suggests i'm a SAAB man..own several SAAB V4, 2stroke and 900) including a 1975 Volvo 66 we have owned for almost a year.
I have done plenty to "Percy" but the MOT run out and I have decided to do a lot more work than initially planned.
Currently the drive train is out as I have several oil leaks and it wants a new rubber mount. While it's out i'm replacing the handbrake cables, brake pipes and flexi pipes. The fuel tank will be dropped as there is a load of gunge (i'm guessing it's some sort of fuel addative that has gone off). The exhaust is home made but is blowing all over the place so I need a new center and rear. The passengers side sill is patched and in poor condition..the chrome strip from that side is also missing.
I will be needing a few more parts but will leave that until later.
