Purchased a clean 98' S70 with 5-speed manual. One of those " I can't pass this up" kind of things. This car looks like it really doesn't need much, it was well taken care of. A one owner (Swedish Lady) car until last year! Even the AC works and it has a brand new compressor.

Neil.

Here you go:

My daughter came home to visit from Boston last weekend and reported a scraping sound from the car. Luckily she was close to getting off the highway and was only 15 mins from home. Her boyfriend identified a dragging heat shield as the problem. We lifted the car up and examined the situation. I didn...

All worth it though because they are better at catching flies!

Hi Neil, sorry I saw this too late, but those would have worked. They look like the ones sold through the dealer with the end caps like that.

Sorry the sale went south! I was fizzing. Guy agreed to ship them at my cost, told me he had a box and would let me know last weekend how much for shipping. Get an e-mail to say he sold them to someone local after he agreed to sell then and ship them. Typical Facebook Marketplace idiot! Neil. Hi Ne...

Might be worth a shot.

I finally ordered the XT400 and the fit kit 161 from Ebay today. Thanks again for pointing me to these, Chuck.

Looks like I may have found a hood in the correct color and a radiator support from an 06' S60 at a recycler 45 mins from me. I will take a look at that later in the week. This is apparently interchangeable with the V70. Bumper cover is of course different.

Hi Neil, This is a fairly easy job, I just did this on my new 98' S70. The lights were only $12 from FCP, I chose the amber ones. I used a hair dryer and an old credit card to carefully remove the badges. Then you just need to take some time and carefully remove the adhesive residue with GooGone, th...
