Project rust box time to save the gul

[abdul]

Looking good

[t5 pete]

Did a little today Re did the bolts on the arch liner to front bumper as the heads were just slightly catching I could have used rivets but I like thing to be bolt on and bolt off so swapped the bolts for one with a coach head.
Fitted the roof strips and re blacked the bumpers again as all the cutting compound had marked them.
Also gave the car its first polish and wax.
And finally the old badges were looking tatty with the chrome dulling so I decided to see what they would look like sprayed up and really happy with them ill fit them and make sure im 100% happy and if not off to Volvo to buy new ones but this should give a good contrast to the yellow just need to let them dry and then a clear coat.

That might be a little for you, but it would be a hell of a lot to me. Hope that you're happy with the badges after the clear coat.

I saw this beaut yesterday, its a peach and a majestic resto worthy of a Volvo loving demi-god. Good work big fella!

One bonus of not visiting the forum as frequently as I used to is the project thread updates of cars like this! Such fantastic progress Pete, it looks amazing, seriously stunning. If you parked it up against its former self you'd be forgiven for mistaking it as a different car. Well done for all your hard work, it really is paying off in a huge way

Who's made up the exhaust Pete?

Got back in at about half 4 from half ten this morning absolutely superb service and the work man ship is truly awesome all mandrel bends and awesome tig work.
they have sleved the cat for me as if it doesnt pass next time I can fit a better one then after the cat in the tunnel they have fitted a long race can and then where the suit case is theres a straight box and the rest is pipe work over the axel leading to the 3.5" tail pipe.
on ticker over there is a really nice burble pretty quiet normal driving ide say its just abit louder than original on the way home theres a viaduct and holy ££££ the sound is like a fighter jet echoing then came the motor way and I was truly shocked its so quiet at 70 all I hear is the normal road noise
All in really happy the service and work man ship is truly top notch it comes with a 25yr guarantee all that isnt covered is rubbers and clamps.
I can honestly say this is the place to go exhaustuk sheffiled.




I forgot to take some under side pics so ill get them tomorrow when I put car on lift and will do my best to get a video

[t5 pete]

Some pictures, got to wait while the little one comes in to do a video.
Also got a phone call from exhaust uk saying they had put a few pics on their Facebook of the car and its had quite some views and people also wanting a video of it and could I do a video so told them hopefully end of this week or beginning of next ill nip in as im out that way and let them take a video hopefully the bloody spoiler is back lol.
Also cleared the badges so all done bar the t5r as that had a slight reaction so re painted it today and now needs to dry.
Fitted the new steering wheel looks great got it all bolted back on and went to test horn and nothing just my luck so off it came and spring contact that touches the squib ring the end was broken off luckily these can be replaced so I robbed it off a spare wheel I had just waiting on the arm rest now.
