I was waiting for someone to say something... U a red or blue then fella?
Thanks for the comments guys, I'm over the moon, I had to put a tyre on this week but bar a cardboard template under the abs ecu to assist a loose connection & now we have no lights. Thanks Steve.
Plans are a nice rip with stainless pipe, bumpers spoiler & mirrors painted & a wheel refurb in possibly a darker colour. Ideally I'd like an LPG conversion for when I'm in low & slow mode but honestly it handles the road well. Eventually some decent coilovers will replace the pro sports but I have a list of "wants" to make it mine.

I'm really not liking the grill or headlights, far to modified looking & I'm dreading the day I get tugged for the windows. The headlights are coming off this weekend & the fly eyes are going, along with the eBay sticker on the rear window.
I plan on fitting a volvo badge on the grill as a temporary measure but mods are very limited until my wife go's back of maternity. I'm still studying the folder of receipts & rolling road printouts, I've really got the right one I feel. No warning lights & go's better than the last one although not as aggressive. 10 mph faster on the local bridge test & on par with a focus rs as I found out last night.
Best bit, it's not dropped below 30mpg.
Got my blanking plate to fit & currently carrying out my first mod. I'm in love with this car & it was an absolute bargain.
Sorry frankie.
Pedro Replika is the Swedish spelling.

You will only get a tug if you front windows are heavily tinted, the rest don't matter, you can paint them out solid, think about a van, they don't often have extra windows.

Shame about the headlights, I think they look great against the red

After last season, you probably don't wanna know...

I could resite a little song about Stevie-G falling over, but that would probably give the game away!

There's a pun in there somewhere.

Anyway, looks like a nice project fella, and a good base to start from

That's ok then, I have a soft spot for city after I worked with a load of you in Denton.
Cheers mate. I've got the bug again. Just glad it's a good base.

They do but are very poor at night. I'd rather keep her straight & looking good. Lol
I'm not sure on the windows, they do pass a lot of light through but I can have them tinted legally if needs be.
We are thin on police around north wales so they tend to leave you alone if you don't rub it in with silly mods & license plates. I've not had a car with tinted windows for 10 years but I feel it suits this car & I actually like them as they're not quite limo.

[Biff]

You won't like this but I agreed a sale with someone on one I have today, if he doesn't pay for whatever reason I'll let you know.

Just noticed, doesn't look like it has a TRACS switch?

No tracs switch fitted but I didn't think they all had it?

My 98 model year (M4.4 T5 auto) has got one....but my '99 phase 2 V70R didn't have one, that was an ME7

I'm not sure if it worked on my awd as the light was on due to the prop being removed.
This feels different but wouldn't be surprised if it had a paddle clutch. If it has I haven't got that far in the service history. Lol

[Biff]

Just as an update, I forgot to put up pics of the interior. It's in very good condition but the leather could do with a re-dye in places. I've spent a lot of time this weekend just fiddling with little jobs.
Recent mpg on a cruise up to Preston.

Interior shots..





I won't bore you with detailing pics but here's a bit of beading.

& the latest edition... I had to! Lol
Cheer myself up after missing the rolling road day...

No mate we've got a silver cross travel system.

It was on offer in demon Tweeks & with my discount I got it bloody cheap.

[Tomcat]

Cars looking really nice biff, great to see one in a none standard colour.

I think the R may of been available in the us in red, I've seen quite a few very similar cars. I've got a few things on the way from the states.
Still missing an egg crate grill.

[Tomcat]

I will keep my eyes open for one for you.

I have the very same seat for our Erica (who's 2 y.o. now)
