Help, Advice and DIY Tutorials on Volvo's P80 platform cars -- Volvo's 1990s "bread and butter" cars -- powered by the ubiquitous and durable Volvo inline 5-cylinder engine.
Car looks awesome JRL. You must be so proud to have such an immaculate V70R! I also have a 2000 in Laser blue, but with 165k. I had planned in bringing it up to this level, but regular need to park in retail parking lots (work) soon ruined that. Dings to front and rear bumpers and both sides. It breaks my heart to see it happen, but it now means I use it less and less, so I am getting close to pulling the trigger on selling it on and buying a beater again to take the abuse. Will hate to let is go after spending a huge amount on repairs and upgrades and my time to its condition and performance, but having driven it only about 3.5k miles in 2 years it is hard to justify a 4th car in a 3 car garage and 3 drivers.
Long may your relationship with your car last! I am so jealous!!
