With the impending Swedish day, i finally found time to do a bit with the sweed. A wash and wax was first... 2 bucket wash with a Mantis noodle mit and megs gold class shampoo, clay session then a polish and wax. For those who are interested I used a blend of auto glym resin polish and kratzer quick wax detailer sprayed on, rubbed in and machined with the DA polisher. Then waxed with a blend of turtle wax hard shell and poorboys nattys paste applied by hand and machine off.
I blended stuff for the sole reason i needed to get rid of leftover chemicals before i could justify spending out on more.

Heres some pics..








Ialso added a few little touches...




There's still a fair few bits that need sorting like valeting the interior, repairing the damaged eyebrow and shining up the trims but she'slooking pretty good so far i think.

Looking great as always Martin, I'm planning on going to Swedish day on Sunday in the XC90...I might even scrub the moss off the roof

You sure you can reach?

There'll be a VPC convoy going from maccy-D to the showground, will you be joining us?

Pardon the crappy photo! Couldn't be bothered to open the tent.



It's a '92 (I believe) 740 Turbo+ and not really mine, but more like a family heirloom. Despite what it looks like it's actually in very good condition both inside and out!

Currently decommissioned though. Mr. Mechanic Brother decided to make a few upgrades to the engine (new cams, bigger turbo) a few years ago and never really got around to finishing the project. If all goes well it should be running before the end of the summer though!

Sorry Martin only just seen this.
Was a last min change of plan for me, MissB went to a Horse show so I was left home holding the baby Puppy.


Hope the day went well, looked a great venue much better than previous years...looks like you had decent weather.

My old C30. I have been missing the nice comfy seats in all my cars after I sold it.

[Pixel-Snapper]

Some nice shots there Martin.

I really, really, really want a P1800 shortly followed by an S60R....

Nearly didn't have a front on my 60 this morning thanks to some t*sser in a white transit that can't merge lanes properly.

The S60R won "Favorite young Swede" (should've been me but I'm not bitter at all - honest ) and that P1800S was stunning and won "Favorite Volvo".

Front ends can be fixed in an afternoon

Some lovely looking Ovlovs at that meet.

[martinrpeachey]

Anybody recognise the red 850R from 5th gear a month ago?

[bob1179]

Some cracking pictures there.

You can't beat a nice bit of Swedish.

Mirror, mirror, on the volvo. Whos the fairest of them all.









Not bad for an old girl.

Old!?

[Pixel-Snapper]

Came out this morning to finish off the trims and interior to find it covered in bloody dust again!!!! Grrr.

Old in the tooth perhaps more like it.
