Great job!

Just to let you know... that style armrest came with 850's after 93 model year. Guess the v70 inherited it.

I knew the S/V70 armrests would fit the 850.

I was unsure of the C70, but lo and behold...

Nice work luketrash. One thing to note. At leats on my 98 S70 when opening the armrest to its full open position the weight of the armrest over time has broken the plastic on the frame to which the hinge is attached. I have tried using superglue, but it doesn't hold. I have noticed other points of failure with the plasic on my volvo, so just be careful while opening the armrest and allowing it to sit fully open now with the added weight of the leather on your new (used) armrest.
