De beurs is alweer aangekondigd!

Inzicht in de jaargangen van de 142

Vandaag op het VolvoKV-forum gewezen op het feit dat ik niet grille 1, maar grille 2 (van de '72) modellen op de 142 hoor te zetten. De deuren met inliggende klinken horen ook bij datjaar. Dat laatste is wel jammer, want ik vind de opliggende klinken (zoald de 164 heeft) een stuk mooier. Maar ja, je wil het origineel hebben of niet....

Leuke site!

Deze week moest mijn auto voor de APK (mijn S40) Op de balie lag een leuke folder met een Amazon op de voorkant. Bleek een folder voor een website te zijn: Net even gekeken, echt super lachen! Je kutn allemaal oude foto's nabestellen. Zelfs op canvas! Kijk maar eens op  www.volvoprint.com.

Fertan gekocht

Ook maar een fles Fertan gekocht. Hiermee moeten de plekken op de Volvo 164 aangepakt worden. Ik ben benieuwd hoe dit werkt.  Op http://www.rustbuster.nl/ staat een duidelijke uitleg. Ik denk dat ik begin met de plek bij de achterlichten bij te werken en vervolgens het plekje bij de achterruit.  Op het volvolvo -forum ben ik nog even wat aan het checken wat de volgorde van de stappen moet zijn. Ik hou jullie op de hoogte!

Ook meteen maar even bij de handige links toegevoegd.

De kleur van de volvo

Weer wat internet speurwerk gedaan en toen kwam ik dit tegen:

The paint colour code identifies the original paint color of the body. The code is found on the vehicle identification plate usually located under the bonnet. The same colour code was used on different Volvo models. For example the dark blue code 96 was used on the Volvo 120 and 140 Series. Of course both are exactly the same colour. Also note that particular colour codes may have more than one colour name for marketing purposes.

Some cars will have -1, -2 or -3 in the paint code, such as 100-1. The -1, -2, -3 refer to a different shade of the colour. -1 being a lighter shade and -3 being a darker shade.

Volvo originally used a 140° Enamel paint, mostly Glasurit or Herberts.

For the repair-market there was an 80° Enamel air-drying paint available.

Volvo's paint codes were changed from December 1988. Both solvent and water based paints are now used on cars. In order to easily identity extra digits have been introduced which indicate if the paint is solvent or water based or has another quality

Exmple: 850 has the paint code 189-21. The first three digits (189 in this case) is for Volvo's colour code 189 Polar White

The fourth digit stands for:
1 = BASF (Glasurit)
2 = Herberts (STANDOX)
3 = Beckers
4 = IDAC/Dupont
5 = Sikkens
6, 7, and 9 = not used
8 = IVI

The fifth digit stands for:
1 = solvent based
2 = water based Metallic/Pearl + Varnish
3 = water based Solid + Varnish
4 = solvent based Solid + Varnish
5 = solvent based Pearl shine + Varnish*
6 = water based Solid/Metallic/Pearl + 2 component Varnish
7 = water based Solid/Metallic/Pearl + powder Varnish
8, 9 = not used

*Because of the transparent pearl coat this concept includes a solid colour which is applied under the pearl coat

Het gaat dus om kleur 109! Ook weer handig om te weten.

Identificatienummers

Leuke uitleg op het forum tegengekomen!

With the introduction of the 140 series, Volvo also introduced a new system of model designation. The first number identified which model it was, the second number identified the number of cylinders, and the third number identified the number of doors. The designation system occupied the first three numbers of the chassis number of each car.
The remaining numbers of the chassis number specified each car's equipment. The letter at the end of the serial number indicates the year model.

The first number identifies the model.

The second number indicates the number of cylinders (in comparison, the Volvo 164, having six cylinders, would be "6").
