2012 Volvo S70RYet little while ago she ment to be scrapped but as the problem was solved at no cost and having parted with my saffy V70R wanted to keep in the Volvo family so I desisded to spend some time and money on her.I`ve done the subframe bushes,cambelt,water pump and thermostat and the bodywork.Sorry for not giving a detailed description cos I`m too tired but thepics should tell as it went.
And here she is just before my trip to europe and had her 1st was since I had it due to the broken window.
Now need to refurbish the wheels,get the fron centre grill,and rear left exhaust surrounding trim.And most importantly a good poilish and wax,hopefully before the Ace cafe meet.
