    Back after a 7 year break

    Hi all,

    Just picked up a 2001 c70 t5 this morning, 7 years after selling the grey one in my avatar pic. The thing is for all it has fsh and sensible mileage to look at close up shes a bit rough and needs a few jobs doing before I let it out of the garage in public haha!

    Are there any recommended sources for decent quality parts that dont charge an arm and a leg? Will be looking primarily for suspension and brake upgrades. Have checked the supplier I used to use (Parts for Volvos/pfs) but the suspension kit I had on my old one appears to have increased by about £200. Anyone know of any good suppliers?

    Cheers
    Chris
