    Cant really do much until my next improvement arrives so thought id paint the calipers as they were looking rather tired. Hopefully she will be assembled friday fingers crossed.

    Be good to see this up and running back out in the sun again. I'm intrigued to see how the front brakes look in silver behind the Volans as that is the look I'm going for

    Thanks for the coments peeps, went to fit the strut brace, Turns out Volvo got it wrong and order me a LHD one ffs lol,

    Been taking it steady today done around 70 miles, Mpg is better, no more smoking lol, but i did have a leak from the Turbo return, i had a spare O ring which ive fitted but im not 100% sure its totally cured it time will tell, seeing as im ringing volvo to order the correct brace i will getting a brand turbo return seal to.

    Anyway cleaned her up gave her a polish, and this is how she's looking.
