Lmao, of course mate of course!

It's not perfect the paint job, but enough to make a difference.

Been a while since I've updated this, had a major setback in that the engine I had put in had compression issues.

So after a lengthy trip up to Birmingham, I picked up a replacement complete engine to chuck in and get it purely on the road.
The gamble of not seeing it run before hand worked and she is now running, and aside from a few niggles, running fine

Here is a photo of her finally on the road.

Videos will come later hehe

It's been a while since i have updated this thread, not a lot has changed since... Until today!!

Acquired myself a rear Spoiler, and made a trip to the Scrapyard to pick up a few bits; Door seal, Front grill and plastic trim to go onto the bumper.
I thought i'd experiment with fitting an S60 egg crate grill onto the V70 bumper, i know there are differences in the size of the grills, but after a bit of cutting, jigging and playing around, it fitted lovely.

Also bought a new uprated bush to go on the stabiliser bar. The Girlfriend helped a lot with sorting out the car today and i am most grateful!
Here are some photos detailing the work we have done.

I fitted a new siren today, but the alarm service required message is still coming up, much to my frustration.
