achmadj Posted June 29, 2021 Posted June 29, 2021 Finally kicked off my Hansom Super prestige Grand Sport road bike build - 62cm is fairly large frame, looks beautiful in its Candy Apple Red ???? I had some Pearl paint mixed up for touch ups, wasn’t cheap but worth it. Started with the degrease and cleaning of the headset bearings and compenents ... awaiting a BB tool for the sealed cartridge, then will inspect and see if I should rather replace if needed... Baby steps ... BuffsVintageBikes, Prince Albert Cycles, DJR and 4 others 7

Tim Brink Posted June 29, 2021 Posted June 29, 2021 Can we turn this into a non-cycling Volvo thread? NOTE For cycling relevance, Cannondale used one of these in a poster in 1980something... Not this one, though. Funnest dad car ever. DJR, BuffsVintageBikes, Long Wheel Base and 3 others 6
achmadj Posted June 29, 2021 Author Posted June 29, 2021 Beautiful and very desirable 121 wagon Tim... of course to load some bikes in and on for those long road trips ????

Lekker man. We got an E24 635csi that was complete but in pieces. The engine had thrown a piston through he block. It has the alpina body kit on. Then somehow the rear bumper went missing. The project hasn't progressed since. It will be advertised sometime in the near future as we have too many car projects and not enough time/money. Wayne pudding Mol 1
Spirog Posted June 30, 2021 Posted June 30, 2021 I know it's rude to keep a forum topic on subject... but here's my 80's Hansom rebuild Wayne pudding Mol, achmadj, Sid the Sloth and 5 others 8
justinafrika Posted June 30, 2021 Posted June 30, 2021 Beeyootiful 122! I too have a '80s E30, a Baur TC2 top convertible 325i in great original condition. Whenever I drive it beyond the neighbourhood it gets way too much attention and offers, mostly from cops and gangsters. About the same thing really… Am very much looking forward to seeing more of your Hansom build. Long Wheel Base and achmadj 2
