    Lovely from the outside - I am not 100% about the 1/2 dark 1/2 light interior - I don't like it much. Still a lovely car mind.

    That's basically what they did on the P2 Rs it doesn't look nearly as dated, looks good

    Nice car you've got yourself, the mixing of the two interiors looks very smart

    Looking good there, what was going on with the interior that you had to strip it out? And I thought I had a work in progress! End result looks cracking, well done!

    interior swap

    Hi i have had 2 Rs in the naudic blue colour and it suits the car very well. one of the blue Rs had over 198k miles and drove very well.I have just spent over a £1200 on new suspension parts for for my current volvo, the front was creaking over potholes, to find the creakings gone, however the car feels and handles as before, this car has done over 160k, even the new rear nivomats are no better than the old ones. This just shows how well built these cars are.
    Good luck with your project, i have done something similar, except i went the other way, silver to wood and two tone seats from a 2000 R.

    Lot's of comments on the interior... I dont like it myself tbh, it was just a case of getting rid of the carpets and brown dash etc and it was a good time to replace all of the plastics etc ( so many more plastics then i reliased ).

    Soon it will be proper, its like that just so I can bear to drive it lol

    cheers

    maybe once iirc, wanted to get stuff done, I hated it for half that time.

    Took a day to strip for paint shop and a month or two to get the motivation to put it together again
