    To Frankie, with love from the C70 owners club(which doesn;t exist..............yet).

    My beautiful C70 T5..... For the money, what a car, and it is a Volvo. Please add pics of your cars fellow C70 owners. I do get §§§§ed off when my car is overlooked at meets, cos these really are cracking motors. Frankie, this thread is meant in the nicest possible way.

    Have you never had a go in one? We can change that, as you're more than welcome to have a spin in mine.

    I think the clutch may have limited days, but you can still get a feel for them. I'll give you a shout next time I'm down your way in the C.

    I need some bodywork and the bumpers spraying, and the Pegs I've got refurbed and repainted. The drivers door also needs sorting as it dropped, but don't know if it's adjustable, or I have to fit new pins. Then a decent exhaust, and remap, the list goes on and on lol.

    That's some list, and it all takes time, and money..........

    Not really thinking of any mods for mine, but I do think I will have bodywork issues on the sills soon'ish. She's on coilovers, rear tints, graphite Ortreras, JR panel filter, and polybushed. Think that's it.

    I do like them, they just lack the character of the 850s and s/v70s for me.

    bigger wheels make a big difference on the c70s, as does the R front off the s/v70r.
