I have decided to list my 1990 Volvo 245 for sale. I would like to put effort and money into the Challenge P1800 and my other projects.
I bought this off of TurboBricks about a year ago and have repaired several things and gotten it to solid Daily status. I ended up using it as a daily for a few months while my Truck was in the body shop.
Good:
Everything works minus the heated seats and cruise. (Even the AC!)
179k miles
T5 transmission swap
Very solid I would call it Midwest clean
New front control arm bushings
New in tank fuel pump and sending unit
Newer Tires
I would drive this thing anywhere!
Bad:
Car has been repainted and is starting to get some clearcoat peel.
Two of the door moldings are off (I have them)
Drivers seat cushion cover is split slightly
Minor surface rust leading edge of rear wheel wells
T5 is a little crunchy in 3-5 gears (comes and goes not bad enough that you can't drive around it once you learn the behavior)
Overall very solid car you can enjoy as is and tinker with as you like.
$5000 South Central Indiana
Might partial trade for Volvo parts, Miata turbo stuff, and maybe LS stuff.
