a nice volvo build

[nsfwaldo]

Hey guys, I bought myself this 2000 volvo v70 glt this past october and now that summmer has rolled around I'm getting more stuff done and just now getting a thread started. I've already gotten quite a few things done so this first post might be a doozy
Here we go!

first things when I got it were minor cosmetic stuff, passenger mirror was cracked and rear wiper didnt work and little stuff like that and the interior looked terrible.
over the winter i did some small replacement things to make it look good all around and then I started on the interior.

I completely redid every seat by hand sewn stitching and some rad walmart fabric I found.


I did an intake and BOV pretty early on too, then since I've done full turbo back exhaust and a 16t turbo upgrade thats yet to be tuned.

I got some BC racing coilovers that took a month to arrive only to have the wrong rear coils, so I am waiting again to receive the right rear coils. (hopefully here any day now)

Of course always have to do the rear wiper delete

Adapters will be on the way in the next week or so as well and fender rolling is also happening in the next week or so.

should be some sweet updates coming soon! Thanks for lookin!

That interior is funky

[VanDamage]

Looks promising, subbed

[teejsauce]

that interior is awesome

[Dremetos]

Love it, those wheels are actually really nice. Might need spacers if your natural camber is going to be as much as I'd guess, but none the less, looks really good.

[244Brick]

interior look way better than i couldve imagined

[nsfwaldo]

I'm ordering adapters from adaptec on monday for sure and I'm rolling fenders tomorrow. I just borrowed a friends roller for the next week. Im thinking, for the front, about trying to get the fenders pulled a bit with the rolller. is that a possibility? I feel like its been done before for sure but I don't really know. tire mount should come early next week as well.

[aLaFleur]

This is rad due! Love the seats.

[nsfwaldo]

Fenders are rolled and liners trimmed. I'll post pics in a bit.

Here's some pics of the newly rolled fenders

The rear fenders were double thick and didn't get as flat as I would've hoped but I also have more room in the rear than the front.

And then I coated em with bondo's version of plastidip to hopefully prevent rust a bit.

Just ordered adapters less than an hour ago as well. Should be here this coming saturday

Nice wagon! If mine were any newer I'd want it to be a t5m v70.

[nsfwaldo]

Thanks fortbrick! I used to have an 87 760 turbo before this guy. I freakin loved that thing. I still see mine around town here and there haha.

Also did this little battery relocation thing. trying to get some more airflow to the intake. thinking about relocating it entirely to the rear somewhere too.
