It's all fine Bones.... even with the ABS playing up, my AP Racing brakes are sufficient ;) Just really annoying at slow speeds sometimes when it has a hissy fit!

Hey Bones! I clicked on this link because I have issues with ABS on my P1 V70R that have been on going - I've replaced all the sensors, rings etc etc and still get the same faults. A Volvo main...
I've bought cars for the wheels in the past ;)

But I did put my tritons against my 740 and...
I originally thought the solid aluminium subframe mounts were only on early ragtops, however this came off a 2000 model so I would imagine it could be across the board?!

Hi Dave, hope you're well mate, sorry to hear your sad news recently!
It doesn't weigh a great deal as the brackets / plates are already there on std setup.... they are obviously beefed up...
Some dodgy pics of the assembly on the car....

I really don't understand why the convertible had this mount.... I was in two minds whether to remove the box section or not..... in the end it was a wise choice though as its very tight down there...
Hey James...... how the devil are you? Long time no see! I've been silly busy I'm afraid..... trying to get back into the cars atm!
....no I hadn't, very true.... I have now though :)
And yes I do have a lot of decorating to do...... after I've finished suing the surveyors for negligence..... hence the empty house being used...
....and C70 steering stops so that 18 inch wheels don't rub ;)
Then bought a load of new goodies :) ....including new MAF o2 sensor and ANOTHER PAS pump :cussing:
...
Then I've decided to stick with the 20mm ARB as I just find the 22mm IPD version too stiff for our roads... so decided to add polybushes rather than buying another new one from Volvo. I know what a...
I picked up a complete subframe from a C70 convertible, which has the added bonus of solid subframe mounts along with extra braces to stiffen up the chassis..... in a proper mingin state!

Hey folks, been a while since I've been on here....possibly 2 years???:rotfl:
Not much has happened in those 2 years, just been taking advantage of an ultra reliable car after all the work done...
Nice one Gav.....bigging up the 'black funeral cars' as so many of my mates like to remind me ;)
Cheers Martin....I've not been able to move it up until last weekend though! Stupidly, in Feb/March time during the cold months, I let the car run up to temp for 30min.....only to realise when I came...
Cheers Tomcat, even my dirty rags are now clean ;) ....I still need to get a front splitter off you at some point, but seriously not trying to spend money at the moment, 'The Machine' is a greedy...
Nice! Always worth searching for those decent camera opp locations....and vast concrete walls are perfect ;)
Looking very nice Martin, I use that Demonshine Snowfoam Shampoo too......it's the car equivalent of that imperial leather hyper foam shower stuff!!
It's always good to see cars with tons of miles...
Also, be really careful not to ingest that dust mate, it's really bad for you! Make sure appropriate masks and eye protectors are worn as you can ingest through the eyes too.
OMG!!! Ian your going for it.......god knows why you decided to do it on the car, I have a spare one here somewhere! As I told you, it takes forever, even with tools, to get a smooth finish. The git...
I hoped to use a stealth position like this, until I tried it......woooaaahhh, probably not best pinning your car whilst looking downwards......note to self, when moosing keep eyes firmly on the...
......so the king, sorry god, of all Volvo alloys, have been refurbed (bloody expensive one too!) in a beautiful silver on black....resulting a wheel that has soooooo much depth and curiosity to it...
Knob! Apologies.....you've got scaffolding (roof rails) ;)
Looking FAB mate.....does this mean you've resprayed the whole car now? I still need to redo my mirrors and colour code the grey.....have you thought about doing the cant rails too?
