The Bullion build thread.

[T5frankie]

Too late!! Lol. Ordered them this morning from Sfs. I didn't fancy black or a themed colour. What bin lid induction kit is that?! It's hoooge. Lol I've ordered a panal filter this morning too along with a load of stage 0 parts off the list. I need a supplier for the pcv & breather pipe kit now really, can anyone recomend anyone?
Also I'm after some poly bushes for the anti roll bars, although power flex don't seem to stock them for the awd.
Been very busy in work this morning, the apprentice is knackered already. Lol

get the bits you need from www.partsforvolvos.com

[Biff]

Brilliant. Thankyou. My mate owns the local motor factors in wrexham so he's had a list this morning but obviously some parts I need are Volvo only. Can't wait for next week now so I can fit it all when it comes.

[HowHard]

nice, not sure on the orange hoses with the gold though heheheh

Oh and calling gay gold ginger is an insult to us gingers! (grandad red > gay gold)

[Biff]

Grandad red?! Jesus I'm trying to fill the booster seat I've found in the armrest at the minute but I admit my dad is a big fan of the bullion, he nearly wet himself when I said it had 250bhp originally. Lol think he will borrow it when he needs the extra space. Get the feeling I'm going to be cleaning the seats again when he drives it & I don't tell him about the planned map. Lol

[hybriduno]

Should have bought a saxo lol

Yeah when I took my dad out in my v70 t5, when I floored it I turned to look at him and thought he was going to cry (he is a grandad...) hehhehe

[Biff]

I can't wait to be honest. I've only driven it short distances so far. It's currently in my mates spray shop awaiting orders. February the first will be a good day. My dad has had some nippy cars but this will make him wet somewhere even if it is his eyes leaking. Awesome.

[Biff]

I've seen a few saxo's after a crash & a few written off police volvo's & I know what I'd rather be in thanks. Respect on the project though.

[hybriduno]

You might see one after a 160mph crash soon lol

[Biff]

Hope not fella after all that time & effort. Lol

[Biff]

£400 spent today. (Don't tell the mrs!)
Can anyone tell me if c70 clear lights fit mine without modification? I've seen late model ones & fancy some.

Hopefully all this & a bit of elbow grease we're laughing

Well done mate.All good apart from engine flush `cos I wouldn`t use it.Coming along nicely.

[Biff]

I thought the engine flush would aid it, can I ask why? The oil doesn't look the best & I'm guessing they'll be plenty of carbon in there. Thanks though, spent hours online finding everything I needed. Would of taken a dam site longer if it weren't for you guys. I'll have a good poke tomorrow for anything I need off your s70 though mate.

[LiamT4]

Some think that it can do more harm than good.

I'd just change the oil and filter, drive it for 500 miles (doesn't have to be one journey lol), then change them again.

U best to get rid of it gradually by changing oil as it goes a bit brown.Shell oils known for engine cleaning.

[Biff]

Right... Well for the price of it I will do it, I want the old girl to last.
I was just reading out the list of mod cons & think she's coming around to the idea but still refuses to drive it & says its too loud. Lol

[Biff]

I've been down to the unit today & had a good poke around, all I can find is the heated seats don't work which I knew, the head light wipers don't work & I need the clip that holds the leather to the load carrier. Also the fuel gauge is reading half when its ran out on me while fiddling. Also the rpm isn't working which it did before, it's now displaying -------- for the mileage too. I've got a big box of bits already & picking up another box tomorrow. Here's a few pictures of the interior & the rest of the body. It's straight & pretty clean. On closer inspection the wheels are dark grey after a wipe down.

[T5frankie]

i nearly had this myself but he wouldnt end the auction early
