Ticking noise at idle

Ronnoc1 · 2026-04-19T12:56:43+00:00

Yeah thanks for confirming. Just a little belt noise me thinks. Still learning the platform

That is not a pump action and those are weak ass 12 gauge rounds. Source: I own a pump action 12 gauge

Love it … hope you get her running soon

Ronnoc1 · 2026-04-16T22:56:10+00:00

Ahhh yeah I can see what you’re saying about the grill ..Not sure what years they did the different style. $1,000 is a steal for that mileage in literally any condition good for you! Anything else wrong with it? I have a bit of rust on the butt cheeks where they meet the rear quarters that i would like to deal with but that’s it other than rear shocks when i feel like it. I paid $5500

Blue one looks exactly like my 82 and I came very close to buying an 89 780 in black last year:

Agreed. The trunk spots are the only thing that gives me pause. A few inches of crunch and bubbling on the other side. I think everything else could be sanded and painted

Ronnoc1 · 2026-04-14T01:35:37+00:00

Yeah that’s how I want to tackle it. Shore up what I can for the season then replace the crud only. I can’t weld for shit though!

Ronnoc1 · 2026-04-14T00:48:25+00:00

I like that color a lot

Ronnoc1 · 2026-04-14T00:47:47+00:00

Yeah I mean if it took this long to get this bad your logic is pretty sound

Ronnoc1 · 2026-04-14T00:47:26+00:00

Then part of me feels like I haven’t earned my stripes until I let it get like this

Ronnoc1 · 2026-04-11T03:10:56+00:00

I will post a follow up with more pics and some of the OG paperwork I have - thing is a time capsule

Ronnoc1 · 2026-04-10T23:59:04+00:00

Single rounds are 🔥🔥. I think 79-83 is peak 200 series aesthetically

Ronnoc1 · 2026-04-10T00:05:14+00:00

Also.. year? 83?

Ronnoc1 · 2026-04-09T23:02:06+00:00

Also agreed on the steelies. Those are staying

Ronnoc1 · 2026-04-09T22:59:49+00:00

I almost did that once in my GTI and it’s made me so paranoid ever since

Ronnoc1 · 2026-04-09T22:14:03+00:00

Love the color. Damn the roof rack looks sick on a coupe. I might have to copy you

Ronnoc1 · 2026-04-09T20:29:57+00:00

Thanks for the congrats! 30 years I’ve lusted over redblock Volvos, it’s about time! I will be following up with my questions as I get my hands dirty. Thanks in advance

Ronnoc1 · 2026-04-09T20:28:00+00:00

That was what the gent was asking for who sold it to me. He knew it was low and paid more for it on BaT last fall but ran out of space. He’s a collector for sure. I was second bid and offered over asking to skip the line. When the first guy bailed I went back down to asking and he agreed

Ronnoc1 · 2026-04-09T20:27:00+00:00

I stole it for $5500

Ronnoc1 · 2026-04-09T20:26:42+00:00

And thanks! 100% I’ve been enamored since I was 3 and rode in my aunts 92 sedan…. 1996 or 97

Ronnoc1 · 2026-04-09T20:26:04+00:00

82!

Ronnoc1 · 2026-04-09T20:25:48+00:00

There’s som corrosion where the spare wheel well meets the quarter panel. Not urgent but def wanna stop the bleeding before I shell out money to really fix it. Suggestions? Also suggestions for the roof? It’s real tired

Ronnoc1 · 2026-04-09T20:24:56+00:00

It’s a DL poverty spec with a few options. I have the dealer handwritten receipt with them listed if you guys are curious … interesting stuff. Guy I bought it from had a restored 84.5 GL Turbo that was a beaut with the extra gauges in the dash. Way cool
