Gave the 850 a full detail, changed out the turn signal bulbs from orange to clear ones, conditioned the leather and fixed a few places on the headliner where it was starting to bubble and took 600 grit sandpaper and wetsanded the glass on the headlights! I had some yellowing from years of junk on the road and rain. Looks like new!

I washed the V-70 and the Geo today. I also checked fluid levels and tire pressures like I do every week.

I have an inner fender loose on the V-70 rubbing the tire, so I will fix that on a later day.

I'm still debating whether to tint my V70 windows. I've had tinting in every car I've owned but when the moonroof is open I kinda like all that light and open air feeling. I was all for it but now I just don't know.

Replaced the RF headlamp on the V-70. The price for one bulb could have gotten me 2 sealed beams for my Geo.

That looks nice! Is that spoiler on your V/XC 70 OEM or aftermarket? I've been looking for one just like that but can't really find anything.

You refering to My dad's red V70 R????

IT is OEM.

I believe you can find them in one of the sites listed: https://volvoforums.com/forum/general-volvo-chat-5/volvoforums-resources-thread-7317/

Replaced the shocks and struts on the S60. It went surprisingly smooth. The cross-shaped nut was a breeze to get off. Total time spent was about 4 hours.
