Man, that body looks great.

1. How did you get the high milage sticker on a car that has 87,000 miles?

2. Are you not afraid to have your cam belt cover off? I'm afraid that something small would call in there and damage my belt.

3. Drives me nuts to see a tail pipe tip sticking out. Makes me think the person is asking for the police to pull them over.

4. Forever black or showroom new (grey) would work great on the trim. The Forever Black trim stuff has a cleaner/stripper in the box to get the trim clean before the dye.

5. Love the head lights.

6. Couldn't see the wheels that good. What size are they?

7. Looks like it has been lowered a little.

8 Like the grill. Did you change the hood latch to the S70 style?

That's all I have. Thanks for sharing. I know you'll be glad to get that dash in.

Sorry radio16 but the red is a little much for me! I like the way it sounds with the OBX exhaust though. Are you not running a mass air meter? I did not see the connection...what size turbo are you running too?

Looks good. Glad to see it running again. However, PLEASE put the timing belt cover back on.

Love the color man that white volvo used is beautiful, love the headlights too man I got a set for mine too.

Any chance you could post up the name of the website where your gettin your dash from? It seems to be a common problem with the 850s in my family
