Hey guys,

Yes I only have 1 post, but please don't disregard this as spam or fake or w/e.

I have a 1979 Volvo 242 GT for sale.

While I stated working vehicle, it is not registered, and needs a bit of work to pass WA pits, although it does run, but some electrical problems are suspected as battery runs itself flat very quickly.

Small amounts of rust in a few places, namely door wells and and boot. As far as I know, the motor is not original and is non turbo. Also steering/front suspension/bearings need a look at, not sure which, just steering isn't the best.

All orignal panels except for front drivers side gaurd, and the original orange and black stickers are still visable.

Sorry to not have all specs and what not, this care is sitting un-used, and has been for a long time.

Will have pics up this weekend hopefully.

ATM the sale is an EOI, (with a ball park figure of a few thousand, considering it is a fairly rare car), if that is allowed here.

All queries you can contact me at [email protected], or try calling 0413 687 722, names Matt, although phone is out of action for a while (refusing to turn on)

Thanks.

    • Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.
    • I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...
    • Sounds like it is rotational in the driveline. CV? Tailshaft CB? Also.....didn't you just pay to have that bit painted and put on the car?
    • Yeah, when I dialled my idle down, given how much time I spent idling at the lights in traffic on my daily commute, the effect on overall fuel consumption was absolutely noticeable.
    • Emissions, fuel consumption, heat, noise, etc. most likely.
