    Red Volvo 850 - the old swede!

    So my poor little 850R has been a little neglected recently, what with a big house extension and actually having to move out of the house so the builders can pull apart the inside of the house including the bathrooms, the old swede has become a house moving lorry, mobile skip and tile and door transporter.
    So me and my Dad decided to spend some time today on it to see what we could do.

    I'm really pleased with our results, we used G3, then autoglym and finished off with my Poorboys Wax to seal all our hard work in and protect the paintwork.
    I hope you like it. (Sorry about the photos - mobile phone shots)
    I'm looking forward to getting my new front bumper soon which will really make a difference to the front end!

    That looks pristine. My car looks shamefully mangy at the moment.
