I had a set of the rear side load nets ages ago , think they got binned unfortunately!
Look at the door cards!!!!! No shrinkage of the vinyl where the arm sits! Wow! ( worth taking them off and glueing them up before they rattle themselves apart , I cant count the amount of glue tubes I put on the backs of the door cards of P80s , helps with sound system too plus some Dynamite here and there.
It did have the load cover, though this was broken when I got the car. I have pieces of it.
No nivomats though.

No. Nor are the fronts. I'm actually not sure we got heated rear seats here.
i thought u installed heated rears in the last v70 you built up?
Just fronts as the elements were already in the V70R seats.
This one will have heated seats once I'm done though.

The interior in this car is really nice. If only I could live with the biege.
I've got grey V70R door trims ready to go.
Since the 850 supports a dual din setup
you might try and find a mda 5051 that will work with your alpine MD head unit

Spent a little bit of time on the V70 today and gave it its first engine bay wash which made a big difference.
With that done, I got through a few minor odds and ends (mostly from my parts stash) - Fitted an MSD coil I had tucked away, replaced the oil filer cap, and fitted an ITG foam air filter (panel filter).
Other than that, removed the rear mudflaps and fitted the 850R wheels with monster-truck-spec 215/45/17 tyres that I had in my stash of parts that I'd bought before I got the car.
Wheels are in need of a refurb. One has a little flat spot, all have curb rash and all need paint. Tyres are too big and look a bit silly but they'll do until I work out if I'm keeping them or whether I'll go with something else.
I had a 'Duratec ST' spark plug cover left over from the Vocus so had thought about modifying it to fit the earlier variant of the 5 cyl engine in the P80 cars but it isn't long enough.
If anyone wants one for their amusement on their P1 C30/S40/V50, drop me a PM.
See -
I'll probably get started on some of the suspension and some bodywork next but I'm waiting on a few parts to turn up before I can sink my teeth in too much.
At one time I had that size tyre and enjoyed the comfort , it didn't affect my enjoyment just changed how it spooled of course.
They just look awkward and you can spot that they're not right from ages away.
I think I have an alloy p80 rip intercooler floating around if you want something polished

I'm going to do the intercooler and radiator anyway. Shoot me a pic of what you have.

I don't mind the look of 215 / 45 , not too much out of place
Hard to tell from the picture , 17 x 7.5 with 185 / 35 tires . Quite a bit of stretch on coilovers
Parts keep arriving in the door but not in the order that I'd like, so it's difficult to actually tick specific items off the list. Yesterday the intercooler and pipework arrived but since I'm not really into 'bling', I'm going to send the pipes out for powdercoating before fitting.
I can't do much with rear suspension just yet as I'm waiting for shocks to arrive (I have a pair here but currently cant source parts to rebuild them).
Minimal bling is the best approach and when I get around to it I will modify the stock airbox to get rid of that silly blue pod filter too
That interior is incredibly clean! Goals.. ?

Go back to a standard airbox with a good panel filter, sell off the shroud (people seem to love them so it'll sell quickly) as, with our ambient temps, a fully sealed airbox is a better proposition.

Hot enough to cook anything in there.
Is ceramic color coating going to be better for your tubes?
Temps arnt to bad I got the rip kit is ceramic coated already so is the exhaust manifold and the exhaust housing on the turbo. The strut bar and the shield around the pod is powder coated thats why the pipe are a slightly different shade of black.
I'm still waiting for a few bits and pieces to arrive before I get into some of the mechanical tasks, so I bought myself a caramel wheel (possibly my new favourite tool!) and starting going to town on removing 24yo pin stripes and the double sided tape residue from the wind deflectors.
Progress is a little slow but I havent had much continuous time on it either.
I've now got the whole LHS done (photo below is half way through) and have done the RH quarter panel.
Everything needs a good cut and polish, post paintwork.
Annoyingly, the pin stripe line was used as the masking line for a repair at a previous point in its life, so I may need to have the LR door painted too. Not sure yet.
Hopefully rear shocks for it arrive this week and I'll knock over the rear suspension next.
