Gday folks, first time Volvo buyer and owner. I bought that black V70R wagon that was for sale in gumtree last week.
Turns out the car is pretty clean and fairly well looked after, after full run down its in need of a new front end build, shocks were wrong and horrrrrible, all tie ends bars, and links need replacing, rear bearings shot and some tatty trim and stone chips, other than that - seems like the last owner couldn’t keep up with it. Last owner had done water pump, timing belt and drive, new radiator and battery.
The exhaust was laughable on it, it had a chopped off hotdog for a tip.
☹️
so obviously, that was first to go.
Will do a major service and replace the turbo with a better/ported one and add a boost controller. Andre from Savvas is on it.
Sound good?
In saying that, there’s a few things I need that some of you might have laying around?
• New steering wheel, the (fake?) wood trim is broken on the top, easier to repair or replace?
• Sunroof interior trim in beige - it’s been snapped after the headliner was done.
• Indicators look a bit shit if anyone got some decent ones? If not, then eBay?
• Floormats? Beige?
Think that’s about it. If anyone wrecking any V70’s with beige interior, let me know i’m sure there’s other things.
Thanks all
