Nice! I am impressed that the red paint should be in such good shape after 14 years in sunny Oz. Somebody cared for this one. Keep it up!

Hi all

Ringlee
The car has been garaged all it life. It was sold in NT and it came to QLD in the early 90s

Bishop
16 inch wheel are hard to find. If I told you how much I paid for the gemini wheels you would cry.

Token ring man
Thankyou for the info I am trying to find someone to check the turbo condition and I am looking around at turbo timers at the moment

"Bishop

Hard to find is an understatment, I sent out over 10 emails and made over 20 phone calls, I still have 3 wreckers who have contacts to other wreckers who will call me if something shows up, but nothing so far.
The ironic thing is that although the 16 inch volvo wheels are nice, they are not actually worth much, mostly because they don't age well and all tend to get knocked out of shape because they are rather soft.

Get the suspension and engine up to snuff and then add a wastegate control valve from www.dawesdevices.com and increase the boost level from stock to about 12 psi and enjoy the additional performance. Get an calibrated boost gauge and mount it on the A-Pillar, if you can find the correct one for you righties. (haha).
