The Evil twinMay as well start one of these as this needs a lot of work, as you know its gonna be my track day, drag and general weekend toy, i'm turning my v70r back to standard (ish) to use a daily car with long distance ability (hoping to go back to spain in it in the summer).
So as you can see i made a start on it today swapping not only the wheels but the drilled and grooved discs over from the s70 to the v70 and vice versa, itching to take all my engine off the v70 but got to batter dave with it next week first lol
