Vervolgens vervangen we de chauffeurs deur met een andere deur met minder deuken.

That's one very nice project you have there. It's coming along great. Nice to see an Australian explore the Dutch forums.

Where in Australia are you from? I spot a Victoria plate. Got some family in NZ, last time I went to Australia was around 2000. I really should get back there Loved it there.

Good luck on building your VR.

[AshDVS]

Thanks!
It's coming along nicely.

We also fitted a 23mm solid rear swaybar to it as well.

We're in Geelong, Victoria. A little less than an hour from Melbourne, and on the coast.
My wife has dutch family and we came Holland in late 2012. This forum is great because it helps me better understand dutch which helps with the family. I'm using google translate a lot to read posts and write them but I'm understanding a bit more than I used to.

NZ is fantastic. We have been over there twice now (both times during winter for skiing and snowboarding) and we're going over late this year to see things in summer for the first time. Where in NZ are your relatives?

Yeah I love both NZ and Australia. We took an RV from Sydney up to Brisbane where our family has an apartment. They are on the northern island, mostly in and around Hamilton I believe. I went there twice now and we toured pretty much all of New Zealand (north and south). I really want to get back there as it's been way too long Last time I went I was 6 or 7 though so the recollections I have are pretty limited.

Still love the country, the climate, and it's people Same goes for Australia of course

320mm upgrade 

It should be registered next week.
Then exhaust system and downpipe, injectors and Nuke fuel rail and ECU upgrade.

It passed its roadworthy certificate last week but the transmission also died so that's now been swapped with a low km one.

Then, we will use it for a little more product development (one more product to get finished) and I'll drive it around for a few weeks while my normal daily car has some bodywork done.
Once that's all finished, the V70 will be sold and we'll look for a C30/S40/V50T5 or LS-LV Ford Focus ST (XR5 here) for our next project car.

We feel the same about Holland. It was very beautiful to travel around. We are hoping now to come back again next year.
This year, NZ will be our overseas holiday - our son is 16 months old so is becoming happier to travel. Next year we hope to bring him with us to see the relatives again and it would be nice to meet some of you as well.

Ik kan een Australische verzendadres niet te registreren.

[maruska]

Probably almost anyone here can be used as postal address. If you want, have them send it to me, and i will forward it to you. no problem.

[yannickdv]

Here's your backup. Happily order one for you and send it down under

[AshDVS]

dankjewel jongens, Ik waardeer uw hulp.
maruska, je hebt een PM

Dus, na een klein probleem, de auto voorbij de RWC inspectie.
De 'klein probleem "helaas was dat de overdracht niet op de weg naar de inspectie.
Gelukkig, de workshop doen van de inspectie zijn Volvo specialisten en bedrijf dat doen we regelmatig zaken met.

Dus, vervangen ze de transmissie, terwijl de auto was er voor de RWC inspectie.
Als de storing een week eerder had plaatsgevonden, kon ik heb gebruikt de overdracht van mijn auto-onderdelen.
Als het dichter bij huis of waar we zijn gebaseerd, zou ik heb omgezet naar M56 of M59 in plaats had nagelaten.

Hoe dan ook, de auto zal worden geregistreerd op 18 juni - het heeft te gaan voor een registratie inspectie volgend omdat het niet is geregistreerd voor bepaalde tijd.
