1998 S70 GLT, Black on Black
i bought a 1998 volvo s70 glt with 140k for only $710. the car needs just a little tlc and brake change. the current color of the car is dark cherry. im thinking to paint the car black, get a costume black grill (dont remember the name now), get smocked tail lights, put some costume headlights and maybe put some black rims on it. tell me wat u guys think??????

If the grill is in decent shape try painting it black. I did it with mine (also on a black car) and love how it looks.
Quick cleaning with soap and water, rub down with 600 grit wet sandpaper, multiple coats of satin black spray paint and you're done for under $10. Sure beats $100 for a grill from ipd.
I took the "slash" and volvo logo off for painting and then put them back on after.

How did you find a running S70 GLT for under $1k??? That is the deal of the day!
The best thing to do is protect your investment and make sure the timing belt has been replaced within the past 5 years or 50k. If not, do that 1st. Get the car running right, have the mounts replaced if they need to be, then work on cosmetics. Do it SMART.

Cost of paint job...
If you think you will keep the car for more than 3 years get a good paint job. If not, go to MACCO. So, you will spend around $900 or $2,000.
