The front brakes are squealing like a pig, and I am going to try some new pads to see if it stops being noisy. If not, it will need machining/new discs. The...

Very nice , I was going to do the same with those wheels! I have em here still if you need spares , they will go to scrap if I get around to a big cleanup.
I like the green but the side strip has to be deleted when you paint , will look much better!
Its also easy to fill where the roof weld is covered with that ugly bit of strip too , gives a super smooth look.
Next step coilovers and super low!!!!

How was it on the way home, did you take the round abouts a bit quicker?

A_Volvo_Driver

So many roundabouts LOL. It was all good mate... just getting used to the new noises :P

Hey Scott, have you had a wheel alignment done yet?
If not, take it here -

Ash , do the wheel aligners do v70 front and rear do you think?
I always had trouble getting my R done , only Motorsport type places know what to do.

AshDVS

I did take my 850 there and they did - though that was 8 or 9 years ago when I had the 850.
Certainly not your typical 'close enough' 'get them in, get them out' type of place.

A_Volvo_Driver

Thanks Ash. I did get the wheel alignment a week after we changed the suspension bits. Joe and I were pretty spot on as it turned out.

AshDVS

No worries. You can make a massive difference to handling through wheel alignments too and you'd typically align differently according to application too.

Nice car, I prefer the gle to the Gls because the gles have the better looking rear black stripes

Cheers mate, it is far from where I want it to be, but I have a pretty solid base. This is THE YEAR OF THE MOOSE, where most of my spare cash will be hoovered up by this car :)

I bought a parts car, "Goldie" last weekend. When I am not so lazy, I will post up some pictures/story.

irishbastard

cool, i look forward to seeing the progress :)

AshDVS

Scott, let me know if you need any 240 parts. Currently having a clearout and there is all sorts of kool stuff there.

A_Volvo_Driver

What have you got Ash? Maybe I don't know what I want yet? :P

Ex850R

Polariser boxes , fairy wings and the hair of the mythical werewolf!!

All or one is enough to make your Volvo pretty good....

I read the late 90's book on Brock (I think it was that era) and it was an interesting read. I've had family deal with him and it wasn't good, he was obviously a complex man.

AshDVS

Scott, drop me an email and I'll get a list to you.
Extractors, springs, swaybars, and lots of other stuff.

Ben

So many goodies...
