As some of you may know this car ill start off by saying it was a pleasure dealing with a fellow member ANTZ who was very honest about the car and the transaction was one of the smoothest I have had :)

So here you go guys, i now own "Project FUBAR"

For those who dont know this project she is a 1995 850 T5, no a/c, no cruise, no rear electric windows, no electric seats, the best model in my eyes as I bet without all that its probably 100kgs lighter so a good start

She has reached a healthy 199k just about to reach the 200k mark and still sweet as a nut

Lots of plans to date so thought id share the progress with you :)

So here is is, the day she arrived

1st thing to do was get a new battery on but the one i have is way to big so it will do for now, the next thing was wheels and tyres as the tyres that were on were FUBAR lol so i got the Thors off my S60 as the tyres are basically new and to be honest, quite like the look! Get a recon on them and they should look just right :)

Just got the fronts to do but waiting on the polybush kit as its pointless on undoing everything twice! The suspension is settling nicely but too dark to get another pic, here is how it looks side on with the fronts not done

Got the track rod off and changed it with the tie bar, but found the rack is leaking so I ordered a recon rack... annoying!!!! lol
This aint the rack i found the rack was leaking after I fitted these parts

http://i1051.photobucket.com/albums/s429/volvotuners/Project%20850%20T5/IMG-20130927-WA0001_zps46c746f6.jpg (http://s1051.photobucket.com/user/volvotuners/media/Project%20850%20T5/IMG-20130927-WA0001_zps46c746f6.jpg.html)

Todays progress a little slower than I wanted, but some progress is better than no progress lol

Took the fuel pump out to get ready for fitting the Walbro pump, but found that the pump housing is broke so need to source a new one :(

http://i1051.photobucket.com/albums/s429/volvotuners/Project%20850%20T5/20131005_153235_zpsf1428564.jpg (http://s1051.photobucket.com/user/volvotuners/media/Project%20850%20T5/20131005_153235_zpsf1428564.jpg.html)

Why are you spraying the inner wheel arches ?

Just for a piece of mind really, i can see a couple of rust parts and with the rust of the arch if I can get it so that the dirt etc to more "fall off" as such with paint and lacquer may help with the rusting in certain areas.... plus it will look nice before wing goes back on haha

I know they come up much better than I thought! :)

No mate but with amount of dirt etc that was under the liners made me wonder! It aint gonna do any harm i suppose but just wanna make sure its good and rust free as poss, when i have done all the inner arches etc im going to get it all undersealed, refurb the subframe and hopefully get some of those bushes that you have, get a c70 rear axle and fully recon that, just want it all looking new and sparkly lol

That's come up really well!

Make sure you don't lock any moisture into the panel when you paint it, especially the areas that have some surface corrosion as you will accelerate the corrosion process which will counteract your intensions.. I'd probably opt for waxoyl over paint as it's got corrosion inhibitors built in but it's your choice :)
