    All said & done - Hamish has done some work on that & left it in good health. new PCV, new brakes all round, remapped & all that.

    KFC seems ecstatic!

    Certainly polished enough of that colour in my time



    The only decent paint shop I know of is Enterprise Accident repair in Hadley. I've seen the scratches & you'll probably need a couple of panels blowing in.

    If you want help getting the paint in a better state - then I am happy to help out.

    KFC you have one beautiful looking car. At the risk of getting flamed can I suggest that you consider crystal headlights along with a decent HID upgrade and an egg crate grille. In my humble opinion it gives a fresh look that knocks years off the appearance of the car and you get lights to match the performance as well
    1997 Volvo S70 2.5T CD. RICA 235 remap. Volvo front strut brace. Late C70 clear headlights, indicators and grille. HID bulb upgrade. Columba 16" wheels.


    Never be afraid to try something new.

    These lights

    [IMG][/IMG]

    from the 2003 c70. They give off a lot more light than the originals, so theres no need to have hids, unless you really want to blind people. lol
