Car Forum / Volvo Cars / January 2005The bumper has been fitted to my 1988 245 DL
Well guys, despite some opposition and due to my limited budget I installed that bumper from 1977 244 DL to my 1988 245DL and now I wish I took the matching front one as well, but it's too late it's gone to some boneyard. The best price I came up with locally for a used bumper with bump struts was about $300.00 I paid $50.00 which included both front seats and as gas cap which doesn't fit my car at all, Oh well. So now I will look for a matching aluminum front bumper, assuming that will fit???? It just goes to show you never know what you can do, til you try it. So I have one good bumper strut to get rid of, and the black bumper cover from 1988 245 DL Dan danhar@hotmail.com not the from address it's bogus for a reason > Well guys, despite some opposition and due to my limited budget I > installed that bumper from 1977 244 DL to my 1988 245DL and now I wish I > took the matching front one as well, but it's too late it's gone to some > boneyard.

I can get the bumpers with shocks for $20 at one of several yards in the Seattle area, the old aluminum ones turn up fairly frequently. Shipping would likely be rather pricey though. >>Well guys, despite some opposition and due to my limited budget I >>installed that bumper from 1977 244 DL to my 1988 245DL and now I wish I [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > several yards in the Seattle area, the old aluminum ones turn up fairly > frequently. Shipping would likely be rather pricey though. The trouble here is there are not many available here and one guy has almost all the good ones left here in Southern Ontario - Hamilton Garage in Guelph oodles of good wrecks and he knows no one has as many as he does so he jacks up prices. I need a tailgate navy blue and as said in an earlier post a guy said he had one and also rear pass door and he was from Utica or Ithica NY , but suddenly dropped outa sight when I said I'd rather come there and see for myself what he had rather than have stuff shipped and obviously paid for in advance. The next time I'm passing tru there I'd like it if I could browse the u-pulls in Seattle, but not much chance of me passing tru I'm afraid. dan Watch out for that guy in NY...His tactics are well known, if it's the same guy 'm thinking of. He's got alot of money from people and has never sent the goods. Count yourself lucky that he "suddenly dropped outta sight" BEFORE you sent money.

I replied with fact I would come and get it and all email stopped at his end! I knew this was a scam. These pricks will use internet and news groups for fraud because it's hard to track them down.
