1998 V70 Upgrades Finished

Post by **Eddystone** » 21 Jan 2022, 13:48

I finally finished customizing my 1998 V70 NA.

Abscate's got nothing like this.

It was one hell of a lot of work, I must say.

What do you think?

I think they should all have come from the factory like this.

I did it in the parking lot. I learned from this guy:

Ah, the good old Audi 100. A classic.

My V70 turned 180,000 yesterday. My S70 is just about to hit 160k. Funny how seeing all those zeroes pop up seems like a momentous occasion.

Neil put the Calgary Magnified Eye on the pics, and spotted the flaw in your plan.
Some folks in Canada can even pronounce "Les Vacances".
Many years ago I found a Bertone that was about to be crushed, and I had a 245 that was at the end of its life too, and briefly thought about a forced marriage. I drank a bit of bourbon back then.
