Default My First Volvo. An '87 760 Turbo Sedan. Help Me Get Started Guys.

Alright, so I'm new here and everything seeing as how this is my first Volvo. She's a 1987 760 Turbo Sedan. My dad met the guy at a car show, and he thought I might be interested. She's got 30,000 miles on her. And it was always kept in a heated garage. So, pretty much I really just want to get started on turning her into something special. The only downside is its an automatic. But for the deal I got, I couldn't pass it up. What are some things that I can do to start the B230F Engine on its path to performance? Also if anybody knows where I could get a really nice set of rally rims or something like that, or any other aftermarket parts, let me know. Thanks in advance guys. Hoping Volvo's the right car for me.

You have got to be kidding me??? A '87 760 with 30,000??? We need to see pics!!! I probably wouldn't do a thing to it, that is almost an antique and if it's in execellent shape, it could be a collectors item. I would preserve it and get another one to mod & jack around with.

I had a '87 740 GLE that I purchased duty free in Japan. That was by far the best car that I ever owned. I hope the 760 Turbo was better. Let us see pics,,,,,, NOW!!!
