98 XC: My First Build- Resurrection of the Cloud

[CIK7]

I’ve got a black front bumper I would love to try to get to you if needed. I *** might**** be driving through on a Covid trip this summer to retrieve old people

He's calling this car an XC, but the profile pic looks like an 850. I'm confused...

Hey CIK7, are you looking for a Cross Country front bumper or a regular 70's series? By the way, what the heck happened to the black and white car in the photograph? Is that a car you wrecked and put together from parts of a white car? Or did you buy it this way ... and plan to restore it???

Hello Sonic! Both of my cars are 98 XC models. Refer to my signature. I have a junk white XC that i got as non-running. My personal XC is black that Ive been transitioning to white. Got all white doors from my junk white one. Well i replaced the white passenger door with another white one as well as fender because of accident on May 2nd. Go through my posts for 'update' of some sort (through my profile i think) and look for the pics of a damaged XC. The only thing left to paint is the frame itself (which is reason i say it will stay stormy up in initial post on this thread), which probably wont be until at least August 2021. Besides the massive engine bay overhaul im about to do, Ive already done a massive overhaul to interior. You can find all that on one giant post i made. The profile picture is just one option to choose from when creating and updating your profile. The 850 in my profile pic is a 96 or 97 platinum. It has those wheels that the 98 V70 AWD base model came with. My XC actually came with those wheels. Ugly imo.
UPDATE: Found the link to my XC update before the engine locked up. Be sure to read pic captions because they're not in order. See post here:

Update! I bought 1996 960 Saloon. My new plan is to buy a jy 2.3 motor (with 16t), put new steering rack and AC parts in, put on new timing belt and basics of 2.3, and drop it all in. Not going crazy on all the new parts. $800-1000 instead of $1800.
