I hate doing intro threads because i never know what to say. But here goes, I just picked up a Volvo s70 GLT sedan on Sunday(2/6/11). I have driven a 850 Turbo wagon before which i loved(and have missed driving since), I got a hell of a deal on my s70. It needs a bit of work but i think i finally found a car i will keep(I'm notorious for having auto A.D.D, owned 30 cars in 2 years)

Here is the current specs on the car as well as a few pictures

178k miles
2.4L
FWD
Loaded
Rust free(minus hood)
Extremely clean interior






and here is a small list of what i am going to do with the car

New color matched hood
New windshield
20% tint all around
New Oil return line
Wrap all "woodgrain" trim in 3m di-noc Carbon fiber vinyl
3" Downpipe
3" Custom straight pipe exhaust
Forge BOV Upgrade kit
Samco Intercooler hose kit
Samco Radiator Hose kit
K&N Cone filter
B&G springs(1.6" drop)
Koni Struts
Projector headlights
18x8" MSR mesh wheels
235/35/18 tires(something sticky)

As of right now the problems it has are as follows:

Leaks oil(have been told its the turbo drain line)
Needs a new Oil dipstick
Needs a new PCV valve system
Needs a Hood,Hinges and Release handle

I am hoping to learn about Volvo's a lot more as i want to drive this til it dies

Welcome to the forum.

 

Welcome to the forum and congrats on getting one of my favorite colors, midnight blue.

 

its actually a dark green not blue. I need to replace the PCV valve system since its puking oil out of the dipstick due to over-pressurization
