Default Newb From Southern Md

Hi all,

Just bought my first Volvo, a 99 S80 T6 and wanted to be a part of the community. Ive been around the Mustang community for about ten years or so, and still very active. I hope to learn about Volvos quite a bit, and enjoy working on my vehicles....and from what Ive read about the 99 S80 i may be doing that frequently.

Thanks, appreciate the welcome. Good to see another Mustang owner too, a pretty unlikely place.

I have a ton of pics of the Mustang, havent taken any of the Volvo yet. Any pics of your coupe? Your Volvos looks pretty sweet; I'm kind of regretting buying the S80 and not an 850 R. My wife looked at me kinda crazy whenI told her I was thinking about selling it already...lol.

Yes unlikely place but working on Volvo's has been my daily job for about the last 10 years.
Your car looks Awesome love the paint on it!!!

Thanks for the compliments on my Volvo's not done with them yet. Eventually I want the Yellow one to be atleast 300HP at the wheels.
That will take time.

Here is a few pics of mine needs a paint job really bad. Previous owner has like 3 coats of crappy paint on it.

Yah I know the blue and red doesn't match very well but going to black the interior out and leave the blue accessories.

Thanks, i appreciate the kind words.

I dont think any of our cars will ever be "done", but it sounds like you have a nice goal for the yellow car.

Nice coupe, im sure it will be killer once you get some paint on it. I know what you mean about the interior, mine was originally gray but I converted it all over to factory black out of a 93.

Pretty neat how the S80 fan fits on the Mustang radiator!
