Nice work there mate, looks great.

Why do P2 wheels always look better on P1 cars

Thanks Craig....how are you getting on with the AWD? I see you were tempted to have a look at the other black manual R in Glasgow.....I would have if I were you

Would be interesting for someone to check that car out!

Getting on good with it. Just been in the garage a couple of weeks ago and got the cruise control sorted out ( just a loose connection in behind the dash somewhere) and it was using a little bit of water but it was found to have a wee hole in the radiator which could have been repaired but I decided to get a new one put into it.

Was at a meet in Crieff with the other volvo forum and got a lot of attention and good comments so Im chuffed to bits with it.

I was thinking about looking at the manual version in Glasgow but then decided not to as my car has so much history and its been well looked after. I was looking to try and get in touch with the previous owner Mr Wilson to try and build more of the history esp to try and get details of the trip to Sweden. He was a member of the VOC and had it at a couple of meets with them round about 2001 but no one seems to know what has happened to him since. It also seems like he was selling and installing the TME upgrades in britain. Ive not got any further with it though.

Your cars looking great, what polish/wax do you use? its gleaming! I see your selling your Diesel 850. It also looks tidy!

a pic after I polished it for the first time....

I don't know whats going on with the rear 1/4 panel in the photo, I can assure you its still straight!
