Thanks Tys.

Also that other car I was talking about. Not sure if bozzzy will let me release details of what that "other car" is yet or not though.

CRITICAL UPDATE

Failure is not an option! All ideas welcome. As mentioned all we need is something that looks vaguely like one of the many crap PRV powered cars to attend Norfolk on Saturday (5th June) morning.

We can now consider the "wrong" Volvo estate if it looks close enough.... No need for an engine to even be present (perhaps)

There is money involved. Not sure of the budget, but it should be "enough"

Right lads, if you can get a volvo 760 with a V6 engine in but the newer type, we can rip out all the gear off the top of it and stand the inlet manifold, ram horns, venturi etc off my volvo on it so to the casual viewer it would look the same.

It's just dawned on me after dans post that I have all the Volvo parts to make it look "right". It seems a shame for dan to mess about with an engine that he wants to put in his car as something is bound to break. I'll take a picture of what I have tonight and post it up if this is the way we are going now.

For the purposes of what we need, I am now told/reminded that only a full car with the correct engine will do.

However some of your bits may be useful at EuroTec for spares?
