been a while since i updated this but things have been happening still just at a reduced rate due to current financial situe!
so in the meantime i been slowly getting more goodies for the 740. first was a nice genuine set of volvo foglight covers in slightly used condition but after a quick refurbish will look good and will be used through winter to stop the grit ruining my fogs! and a set of genuine volvo turbo intercooler brackets cheap from the states including the rubbers that i took and sand blasted at work to prepare them for paint and storage untill the time is right.
then the BIG thing that has happened is that ive finally lowered the car! its on a 40mm drop all round on bilstien B4 dampers and a new IPD polly'd panhard bar and holy hell it handles so much better! like night and day no more ocean liner wobble. i also recieved a nice supprise parcel from sweden in the form of a genuine volvo snowcap with clips included.
