I found a nice rear spoiler for my XC on Ebay this summer :D . It was in the correct color and looked like new after I polished it.

Saying goodbye to her today. Parts dismantler took her off our hands...:(

5 years of great reliable and safe service to our family.

We kept up with most maintenance items however roof lining, leaky tank when over half, cracked passenger seat, a squeaky broken instrument panel, overdue PCV, front brakes due, valve stem seals and now a heater core failure made us reassess the car's value. I couldn't take her off the road long enough for the repairs as the wife needed her every day.

The oil usage was getting ridiculous and was hitting 1 litre every 700kms. But boy when cleaned up she could turn heads!! Image

I can't take credit since I bought it this way. But I plan on keeping it this way for a long time. :lol:

That is none the less a nice looking Wagon.

I have recently acquired a '98 XC which I would like to gratuitously add to the photo thread if the community doesn't mind?

It is clean looking. I have to fix a few issues. But it is here, and I like it.

I have another rear spoiler as well as I had done to the '96.

Thanks! I used to miss my 850 sedan, but not any more. Shoot, with this particular wagon, I don't really miss my Typhoon any more, and that's saying a lot for me. :lol:

Add a wing, get my boost gauge in, and I'll be all set.

Edit: Took a little sanity break this morning.

Cold Volvo.
