Yet little while ago she ment to be scrapped but as the problem was solved at no cost and having parted with my saffy V70R wanted to keep in the Volvo family so I desisded to spend some time and money on her.I`ve done the subframe bushes,cambelt,water pump and thermostat and the bodywork.Sorry for not giving a detailed description cos I`m too tired but thepics should tell as it went.
