OH-IN-PA - WTB project v70 / XC70 / 850 wagon

Post by Oly850 »

My eldest daughter totaled my 850 sedan a few years back, and I’m just now getting around to starting another project car after a brief dalliance with Nissan LEAFs for the boys. It’s time for another whiteblock.

If you have a wagon that needs engine / trans / body work, I’d be happy to drag it home and wrench on it.

Looking to put together a clean stock wagon for me to run errands, so it doesn’t need to be fantastic. If it suffered a spectacular mechanical explosion, so much the better.

Let me know what you have?

Thanks,

Thomas :D

Robert Spinner has a couple in or near Cincinnati, he doesn't leave for CA until mid-month, either email him or text works best.

Get in touch with him soon, he leaves for Vegas Monday, and won't be back in OH for weeks if not months.

I have Geronimo, a 2000 V70 with 350k miles. I started rehabilitating it for its owner in late 2021, giving it new calipers/pads/rotors, exhaust, windshield, ABS module, Nokian studded snow tires on separate wheels, and more. I'm in NH but could drive it to north east NJ. It would be a tricky to get it to you but PM me if you're interested. As much as I want to finish repairing it to sell, I really should not.
