This is how
the car looked when we picked it up. The guy in the baseball cap is the seller, and I am
the fellow in grey pants. |
 |
What you
can't tell from the pictures is that it was absolutely freezing this day, and the car
rolled very heavily on four very underinflated 205/60-13 tyres... |
 |
The first
look...1997 |
 |
A well hidden
battery cut-out switch - for safety and some theft protection. A gift to the one who can
guess where it is? |
 |
Visually, not
much had changed till 1999... |
 |
I like the
white face dials, and I have also removed the blue covers for the lighting. No dim
instruments anymore! |
 |
Interior class
of 1999. The boost gauge has since moved up on top of the dash. |
 |
The engine
compartment as it was stripped down for the turbo install (1998/99). |
 |
At the same
time, the spare wheel was dumped in favour of the battery moving to the trunk. |
 |
Front air dam
being built in the winter of 1999/2000... |
 |
...and it
actually has stayed. |
 |
The gearlever
knob is turned from solid aluminium. Gets hot in sunshine... |
 |
Front right
corner, with the clear indicators (2000) |
 |
No, I really
don't dislike Volvos that much...I like taking parts off them! |

Front with
