I recently posted about another Volvo i own and old 240. Which seemed to gain more interest than I thought, so I came to the conclusion that everybody will want to see the crap i ram round in everyday. so here she is its a 1997 Volvo V70 2.5 10 valve only has 80,000 on the clock so its probably just about run in. Although the car has not got a huge amount of mileage it has had a difficult life. As the previous gentleman that owned it before me, only sold the car after he was told he could no longer drive because he was legally blind. So the car has not got a clean panel on it, but that's great for me because i don't mind leaving it anywhere. And I don't have to break down to tears if some idiot knocks it in a car-park.

i have done a few little things just to show what a clever little boy i am the list includes

1.destroying the comfortable ride by putting it on lowering springs.

2.filling the boot with a stereo that is loud enough to rattle your teeth out.

3.using what little space was left to fit a compressor for a train horn because... well just because.

4.sticker bombing a few panels because the voices told me to and I thought I would look cool.

5. tinting the rear windows so it looks like a drug lords limo.

next on the list is some new wheels and possibly bigger brakes to fill the new wheels. Looking at some bola b1 (rota rip-off), would like to get it on air ride suspension. But cant decide if its a good idea to spend probably around 3 times the worth of the car on just making it low and impractical.
