Hi Oz Volvo,
I'm looking for a V70 R in Melbourne (or Victoria) to photograph for a magazine feature.
It will be featured in Wheels as a Modern Classic, and on WhichCar.com.au
If you know of anyone who may have one, please let me know!
Thanks in advance.

What model are you after?
What series? P80 -1998-2000. Or P1. Later newer shape.
Thanks for the replies - looking for 1998-2000. My apologies for not being specific!
When do you want it?
I am not too far off finishing this -
Ash, that looks great! Has to appear stock, though...
That’s looking frickin’ awesome Ash!!! ?

Gotcha.
See if you can find one with factory 17" 'Comet' wheels fitted and in the Saffron gold 'hero' colour. They always photograph well.
Like this one but with correct wheels (wheels pictured are 'Titan' wheels from 850T5R).

Cheers.
I'm waiting on a few service/maintenance parts at the moment and I'll then get back to getting the front suspension in and brakes done. I hope you're progressing through yours too.

Yeah getting there too. It’s at the paint shop at the moment & nearly finished.
Also finalising the front seats using material that used to be yours apparently! I bought them off Jared in Canberra.
After that should all be good to go I think?
Looking great!
I still need to do something about the front seats in mine - I'm a bit undecided on what to do really.
Jared bought my previous V70T5 which also had a full V70R interior, bumpers, etc and he'd mixed and matched with other interior he'd come across to get the best possible interior in that car.
I'd had the roof, bonnet, quarters and rear bumper painted previously with a view to getting the other bits done off the car as I worked my way through getting other panels ready but the work wasn't what I'd expected/hoped for so ended up getting someone else to do some remediation work. This made a huge difference but the quality of the original work was evident so I ended up having the bonnet painted again by the same place that did the bonnet did the guards, front bar, skirts and a couple of moulding pieces. I think I'll end up having them do the roof again as well.
