    Its amazing what brake and clutch cleaner does but wouldn't recommend it on paint you want to keep nice

    Looks like this Volvo isn't just only good for people but tweety pie also made home here


    Also wanted to have the steering wheel looking great so off to royal steering wheels for it custom doing and also a new alcantata boot aswell


    Hopefully next week ill get time to do the welding in the engine bay then finish the chassis painting off and onto nice new paint
