Alright, this car has been passed around to and from different forum members on the major RWD Volvo forum (turbobricks) for the last couple of years and has finally ended up with me (which it will probably stay for a long time). Therefore, there are plenty of mods left over from previous owners.

Suspension - short strut setup fabbed by yours truly, stock strut tubes chopped 2" and welded back up, strut inserts for a 97 Saab 900, 300lb 8" Afco coilover springs, Coleman Racing coilover sleeve kit, 25mm ipd front swaybar, Kaplhenke balljoint spacers/steering quickeners, 5" OD 300lb Afcos in the back, OE 242GT rear swaybar, bilstein shocks
Wheels/Tires - Diamond Racing 16x8, 4.5" backspace, 5mm front slip on spacer, 1.25" adapter/spacers in the back (not on in the pics), off brand 205/45-16 tires
Exterior - beat up paint, roof painted satin black, 'custom' sunroof delete, saab rear spoiler, Autopal H4 sealed beam replacements, Volvo 760 wagon roof rack, Volvo mudflaps, 76 antenna ball
Interior - 2 tone (black/brown) Volvo 164 seats, plaid headliner, only fuel/temp gauges work, industrial liquid filled gauge for boost gauge, AC/heaterbox delete, windshield wiper motor/wiring/stalk delete
