Thank you. :) Its my first time making sheet metal bodywork and it turned out ok. I did have to make almost every panel on the car twice tho so lots of alu going in the scrap bin.

Does anyone know if the 850 GLT engine is running wasted spark ignition or not? I think my review counter is showing a bit low at all revs above idle.

I asked in a Swedish facebook group dedicated to T5 rwd swaps and apparently Volvo used four cylinder output for both the 5's and 6's up to 1999, Going to try to change the settings of my tacho to four cylinders tomorrow and see how that looks. I should probably break out the oscilloscope too and check the signal while things are apart. :)
