Lovely! So many memories of mine... 80K miles, the £14500 I paid at three years old, the realisation of the beasts thirst at second fill up. So I got another one; cant beat an 850!

Thanked 33 Times in 24 PostsI have no idea how to quote!!we used mostly AG products my mate rob who did the majority of the Graft is a professional detailer, he used various machines And a variety of pads here is a link to his thread on detailing world.
http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/foru...d.php?t=340424
The mechanical work was done by my mate who shall remain nameless on here unless he wants to come forward, what he doesn't know about Volvos and Especially 850's isn't worth knowing really.
Thanks to GWE for the exhaust it's very special indeed, I will endeavour to get pics of the chassis up And the whole of the underneath as this area is cleaner than the bodywork!including my red tank straps (sad I know)
Cheers again for the comments
We also fitted MBC, forge blanking plate and polybushed everything in sight!I quite like having my teeth rattled out!
