With the Vocus having been picked up this afternoon, I finally got around to giving the V70 a quick wash to better understand what I've got in front of me.
In short, the starting point is decent, it's essentially straight and aside from the terrible top surfaces, the rest of the paint will likely be decent once detailed (by someone other than me).



And despite being beige, the interior is in very good shape. I haven't cleaned it at all - it was well taken care of by the previous owner.



I've never seen these webbed basket storage bin thingos before but I think I'll re-use them in the grey interior swapover.
Mark from VP Tuning/Voldat sorted me out with a heap of grey/charcoal cargo area trims and plastic pieces from an 850R wagon he was parting out, so I picked those up last week as well - it was really good to see both Mark and John again too, so I'm looking forward to becoming a bit more active in the VCOV like I'd been quite a while back.
