    PROJECT Déjà vu

    Hi Everyone

    After a few years away Im back to my Volvo's.....

    I really missed the last 850 I had which some of you may remember.... pic of my old one >>>>



    Anyway, Im back with this one as I missed my 850..... Needs modding yet .... orthough already fitted bumper... (needs spraying now) >>>>



    And braught a few other bits....... The Egg crate grill is a must





    Few scuffs need sorting......







    Unfortunately my red Ibiza Bocanegra is going as she is costing me way to much ..... So I brought another Volvo 850, orthough the Ibiza with the 1.4 turbo and supercharger is EXTREMELY FAST!!!! I just missed the 5 cylinder 20v goodness!!!!

    Volvo's generally being more reliable, quick and hopefully cheaper I feel this was the right move for me at the moment..... I only paid £800
    for my first T5.... and was the best car for the money ever.....

    The new one seems very straight (text check clear) very straight for a 1996 car and not bad for £600 really .....plus just had full MOT (£140) ...... £740 all in....

    Its in the same colour with only 100k miles (low I believe for a Volvo???) My P reg one was on 148k when first purchased and she never missed a beat EVER!!!!

    Will keep you all posted on further progress as I have serious mods to come soon including engine work, turbo,RICA,DV,intercooler,coilovers, alloys...........
