Update on my $1000 V70 XC

Post by erie2theworld »

Hello everyone! Some of you may have been following my story on my 98 V70 XC that I bought for 1000 bucks. It was in a pretty sad state of disrepair when I got it about 3 months ago, but now after a trip to the body shop, some mechanical work, and hours and hours of endless cleaning, it's starting to look more like it's worth book value! I've attached some pictures.

I believe it's the standard leather/canvas interior that came in the xc models without the full leather option. I've seen it in several other 98 xc's.

Annnd, which emblems do you mean? The "WD" one is simply because the "A" fell off. lol. $36 for that emblem. I'll hold off for now.
