First outing in the rain

Plenty of protection on there by the looks of things. Are you still interested in my nivos if they're decent Pete?

**t5 pete** · Friday 26th December 2014, 20:30

Yeah bud just need to know that the boots are in good condition and no leaks

Can I make a suggestion please Pete. With your garage facilities, if you can help me put my C70 back onto BC's on the rear, and if the nivos are OK, then you can have them. If they're not OK, then I will pay you for your time. How does that sound please?

**t5 pete** · Friday 26th December 2014, 21:35

Yep no problem sounds good to me we'll sort it after new year or when ever your ready

**foammanmark** · Friday 26th December 2014, 21:42

Thanks Pete. I just have to get a new damper from BC, but they seem to have a problem with the one that I need, even though I have all the spec. numbers/car type etc.

Fantastic job Pete, I'm just slightly envious you're set the bar a bit too high for a short guy like me....lol

Only the 854R has the duck tail spoiler, unsurprisingly for Volvo it was produced to improve rear end stability at high speeds

Nice beading, any completed shots yet, I'm getting desperate to see the car with the spoiler and badges on

Hey Andy still haven't had time to fit them and give the car a full going over for its final pictures im just so short on time ive literally just finished fitting a new bathroom suite a couple of days ago and are now on baby sitting duty looking after little Peter but I must get it sorted and hopefully ill have it done and pictures for new year

**t5 pete** · Sunday 28th December 2014, 16:37

Finally got round to fitting the spoiler looks much better now and nearly finished I also offered up the anthracite badges but they dont go as well with the yellow as I thought they would have so will call volvovtomorrow for all new badges

**t5 pete** · Sunday 28th December 2014, 22:19

Also fitted the new arm rest but a very unusual thing for me I forgot to take pictures ah well there's always tomorrow

**AndysR** · Sunday 28th December 2014, 22:23

Spoiler looks the nuts and the new badges will be the finishing touch to the rear end of the car! Still in awe of this car and your dedication to turning it from something that most people wouldn't look twice at to one of the best out there

**t5 pete** · Sunday 28th December 2014, 22:25

Thank you Andy much appreciated

**t5 pete** · Tuesday 30th December 2014, 11:05

New badges ordered it will be nice to get them fitted and the external of the car should be near enough finished

**no1tosh** · Wednesday 31st December 2014, 19:58

Well done pete that looks awsome glad you got there in the end

**t5 pete** · Sunday 4th January 2015, 13:33

Was going to take the car to its first meet but half way there I thought ide look at what mpg it was doing while crushing at 70 it was showing between 3 and 4 mpg oh dear so pulled over and had a look to see for any reason why it would be injecting so much fuel couldn't find any thing and also the also looked and smelt fine so no fuel in oil so I decided to return home to which I noticed when crushing with no throttle the mpg was around 4 but when on throttle and boost the mpg was increasing so got home and swapped on board comp and hey presto all fine.
Took it for a quick drive round block

Looking stunning! Passenger airbag, that's a sod when it comes to removing the dash top.. Glad the cluster swap resolved the mpg concerns though

**shepbomb** · Sunday 4th January 2015, 16:09

and you said what about 'jap crap'

yeah I had a idea it was the computer but thought best go back home and make sure, it's not too bad with the air bag just a extra 4 10mm bolts once the glove box has been removed
