OK, so just got the car on my garage, looks like a don't have to much leaks, I only see some green water drops (witch I'm assuming that just the radiator is broken some where).
looks like I will just need to change the hood, grill, lights, and a few frame pieces (see pic)
What you guys think?

That looks clean, probably needs new headlights, bumper, cross radiator member, rad, cooling fan, hood, front grid, that's pretty much it. from a scrap yard, you'd get them for about 1k. To check the belt remove the upper belt cover and turn the engine to check all the belt length. look for hairline cracks but it should be still good for a while.

so far so good, but yesterday I remove the headliner to repair my self I i notice the Driver seat didn't want to go down (electric seat). so I will have to investigate once I finish with the front repairs.
I did got Vida software working on my laptop, which it have help me a lot to getting the correct parts. I order an ODBII scanner (I hope i don't need to get a DICE scanner) we will see
I will check out mycarfax, thank you

Well here is some updated pictures of my volvo project, Any input you guys have would be appreciated.
I'm thinking on left the hood black, got the headlights with back black, grill would be black and wheels would be paying black. Also I will be tainted the Windows black. And the back lights will be tainted black as well
Can't wait onto is finish yay!!!

Just don't forget that, after your "sweat equity," you will have a collector's item.
Two questions: 1) how is the alignment? If the collision crumple zone extended to the forward frame, a 100% alignment may be hard to get. 2) How did the PO treat his/her turbo? Was the oil changed REGULARLY? Did he/she run it up to redline?

at 71k miles/10 years the belt may look good but it got stiff (like hard plastic). it's a good idea to replace it being there. I only had a crack on mine, had to turn the engine to find it.
