    Right so, well ! This car is for one weekend and I don't want to spend any money. At the same time I feel is be robbing it off you at 30 quid. Will that do ?

    Yeah, thats grand.

    I assume the new model is different but it fits the Expert/dispatch/scudo up to 06 so if your not butchering it you may well be able to make €20 on it if you find a buyer when your done :)

    And all done for 250 quid. Okay so there was three of us to cut springs and grind paint but its that cheap for a bit of craic. Best bit is that I have it sold to the scrap yard already for a small profit. Good aul heavy Volvo :p

    Bit of a shame to scrap it though. Might just see what it makes (if anything) on donedeal before it goes to its death. Anyway Wexford here we come.
