I see a lot of threads in here about issues and problems people are having. I think we need at least one thread that is dedicated to celebrating these great cars! I propose a thread where people can showcase their work and post pictures of the vehicles for others to admire.

Here's mine:



It's a 1995 850 Turbo. I bought it during the summer of 2010 and it had 45k miles. It currently has 60k. I haven't really done anything to upgrade it (I mean, how do you improve on perfection?), but I work hard to maintain it and ensure it'll keep running for a few more hundred thousand miles. It came with just about every option available at the time and I enjoy showing up friends who have newer cars that do much less.

 

I'll snap a pic tomorrow morning..

Edit:

 

reserve this spot for summer time.

 

Very nice!!

If only i could find a clean 855 T5 w/less than 100K on the clock, I would snap it up so fast...!

 

Well instead of reloading my pics for this thread I'll just give you guys the link.

Volvo Forums - Volvo Enthusiasts Forum - MC92's Album: My Rolling Green Tank

222xxx miles and still a fun car on the highway.

 

Here's my 95 850 Estate, with 200,000kms (124,000miles) on her. She runs like a dream at the moment, too

Please sticky.

 

LOL, here is my Panther. It has V70 tail lights, V70 roof rack, V70 roof trim (catches rain better), VW wiper relay (adjustable), S70 SC-815 stereo cassette/cd player with S90 SC-816 faceplate, installing a tow hitch soon, and working on a few other small things. I'll update the pic since I haven't taken any since I dyed my bumpers. Also, my photo gallery is in my signature.





Was wondering if I should add the engine bay pic then I thought, guys are always wanting to know "what's under the hood" so I added it (reminds me a little kids showing each other their muscles).

Well done get a sticky brother.

My 95 850 T5

 

Here is my '96 Platinum Turbo Wagon: 188000 miles and still strong.

She just got a new lower control arms and a complete steering rack and rear sway bar. Next up are new axles, front brakes (should I do a Big Brake upgrade), thinking about new springs all around (didn't do that when I installed the Bilstein HD)(don't really want to lower it)(camping car too) and looking for a different set of 16" wheels Like the Xenia's or something similiar.

 

Why are you calling that car a Platinum wagon?
