Enjoying the C70

Post by subzerocarfanatic »

Just wanted to say hi to those of you that have helped me get the C70 back on the road, we truly have been enjoying it. This has got to be one of the coolest little sports cars I have ever driven and performance wise it was surprising for Volvo, at least for me it was, the car handles very well, not the smoothest riding car but most sportyt cars are not, but it is not bad, our roads are horrible here so that is more to blame than the C70.I will report back how all goes with it on occasion, we just got our new tan convertible top the other day, It looks like that will be a challenge to install, i will post the install here when I do it. Take care guys, abscate and volvolugnut, thanks for all your help and others.

Thank you for your help as well Scot850, I appreciate the people here, I love this forum and the people on it who enjoy helping others, this was my first experience with a volvo and it was a nice learning experience and painless at least most of the time thanks to guys like you.

If there was anyone more deserving of enjoying a refurbishment, it’s Neil and his 2000R!
