Well, yet another weekend spent faffin' about with the car, filling dents, respraying things, aligning panels and trims etc and today saw yet another polish and sealer coat after the paint and clear coat had gone off.
Some pics...




Not much left to do now. The roof needs sorting but I've been toying with the idea of getting it vinyl wrapped - NO, NOT BLOODY CARBON FIBRE!
It'll be gloss white. It's a Volvo, not a bloody Civic!

I wonder what I'm gonna do with my time after all this is finished lol.

Looking really good there MP, I think we can safely say this is the best ex police car in our Volvo community, it's really getting up there with the best of them now

Thanks Andy.
That means a lot.
The comments I get at work are more like "just an old Volvo" - that's coming from people which drive battered old corsas and zafiras! Muppets.

I got that when I bought mine, things have changed in the few years I've had it though, now I hear them telling others about it when they think I'm not there

[M-R-P]

I think it'll be a while before mine can be called a "modern classic" tho
Although when it is, there probably won't be many left lol
