James's 1996 850R "Minty"

Oz Volvo Ice Fortress
I'm back in the P80 game! I'm still deciding on a name for this one.
Black exterior, black interior, just north of 300k on the clock. Everything is in fair condition. Needs a wheel alignment but no clunks from the suspension. Has a new headlining. Doesn't have a sunroof, but oh well, you can't have everything. Even the climate control works properly!
Known issues / to-do:
- Cruise control speed adjust down doesn't work, may need new stalk
- Some dash lights don't work
- Missing D-pillar tweeters
- Bumper has the usual cracks, has been triaged with cable ties (which you can't really see, because they're black! Pretty convenient)
- Engine bay needs a power wash
- Check compression and see if 20W oil is really necessary
- Front console drivers-side rear window switch doesn't work in up direction, probably needs switch contacts cleaned or switch replaced

Look up the one I get them from , name escapes me ATM....Worley!
I rate their hose as good as any others and better for the fact you don't have to kill yourself trying to get the bastard tight ones on and off if you are unlucky! (Samco.....nooooooooooooo)
As said , I can get em at slight discount/haggle if I pick up.

AaaaaarrrrrrrR.
I'm keen to do the V50 but can't justify (to the lovely handbrake) buying a Festool or similar right now and won't buy a rebadged Chinese tool for top dollar.
Will probably do it by hand
Number plate says "Betsy"?
Not so perfect that you can't take it to a shopping centre car park.
