Well thought i had better start a thread on my V70R....
She is a 1997 V70R Black FWD Auto, which i bought 4 weeks ago for the princly sum of a Grand, to good to be missed.
She 147,400 on the clock with full Volvo Service History up to 107,000 then independant after with quite a few receipts...previous owner in the last 6 months has put 4 pirelli Zeros on her, new water pump, Power rack, radiator, new comet alloy on the front although silver..
She has 17" Comet alloys Anthracite, Still has Original R mats, First aid kit, tool kit, Load cover basically everything it came out the factory with it still has..
Since i have had her, given a full service with NGK Plugs, Fitted K&N cone Filter but had to adapt this as came off a BMW 330, New front suspension top Mounts and a fresh 12 month MOT.....
Today tho i had the pleasure of fitting a powerflex polybush front top engine mount, not something i am in a rush to do again..LOL,
This tho lead to me taking off the front Grill to Spray Black, taking off the Air duct hoses for a clean, and now my silicone vaccum hoses have turned up i can replace all these....so basically the car is in bits at the mo....Just waiting for the Strut brace to turn up hopefully Monday and that will be the first phase done..
if this works i should load up some photos of the day i got her and this is how she was when i picked her up..
Anyway have a few plans for but at the mo other than the mods i am doing at the mo, she needs a good Valet, complete cut back and polish on the paint work, Interior thorough clean and most of all the alloys need a total Refurb
