Hey Guys,

I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Jamie and I'm from Richmond,VA. I am a former turbobrick owner(93 940 turbo wagon) and now converted to fwd volvo's lol. I purchased a 1997 855 GLT Wagon a couple weeks ago for 800 dollars. Car is in overall great shape with 158k. Car was running great until a couple days ago when rod knock started. So now i plan on swapping a hpt 2.3 in it with minor mods and be done. If any of you all where wondering about my sn i used my old 93 as my detailing vehicle
( i do mobile detail work on the side) and continue to do the same with the 855. If any of you guys are in the Central Va region let me know would love to meet up with some of you guys.

Mmhmm, graduated a few years ago and have been working around the area since. Looking to leave soon, but I love it here.

Ah, Virginia, I was born there in Portsmouth in the Naval hospital years ago, never had a chance to live there long, my Dad was Navy; But I've never been ashamed to claim being a native daughter of the Commonwealth. Welcome to the forum.

Nice wagon looks like my 850, but in blue. Engine looks oil free, so I guess your PCV was serviced or you just haven't gotten to where its clogged yet.

Welcome .. this forum is awesome, helped me so much.
