V70 P2 D5 project - creating the perfect daily boost bus......
Lets start off at the beginning when the car was bought......
Came from a garage in Cheshire with 154k on clock but was in excellent condition:

When the car got home it went into Volmech and had a full major service for my piece of mind - new timing belt, filters, oil and also had a slight whine on alternator so this was done as well.
It was never going to stay standard as I don't keep cars standard haha
First up was chassis mods - Sachs dampers, eibach springs, XC90 top mounts, Ultra racing strut brace

This dropped the car and made it handle a hell of a lot better.
I also had a full new set of Bridgestone RE002 tyres which were sitting about off my Impreza so these were fitted to the original Orestes rims. Combined with a good geo setup the car handles amazingly.
Next up was a V70r rear lower valance and custom exhaust:

Whilst exhaust was being done I had the second cat gutted to boost the noise:

Got a private plate sorted and gave the car a good scrub also before this had the rear windows tinted, genuine Volvo mudflaps and Heko deflectors installed:
