98 V70R FWD manual. The one that works, while all the RWD stuff is in pieces...

It needs those clear 03 headlights but looks good. We're almost up to the 500bhp mark on our drive now.

So are you saying this is an AWD version and the rear diff stuff blew up, or are you saying this is the working car whilst your RWD stuff (completion date 2029) is in pieces.

James, if you do go for '03 indicators... let me know and I'll take the existing ones off of you! (will mean I need to visit rels in North Hykeham to pick them up)

It's intentionally FWD...while the neverending projects edge ever closer :) Despite appearing to be spreading myself thinly (Youtube videos of the 164, etc), I've spent time and money on almost nothing other than the 343 this year. Sadly, it's not worked out well for one reason and another, and it's still in a lot of pieces, and only half de-rusted. Once the finances have recovered a little (Christmas bonus...etc), it will be going to be finished off...viva 2010!

Nah, they're the standard 17" Comets. They look pretty close to those P3 rims...but it must just be the angle.
It's good old 417 Nautic Blue, but pearl finish. It did look a bit different to the S70 (Nautic Blue metallic) when they were parked side-by-side. I have to say I think I prefer the metallic finish...

123,000 miles. It has a few nasty scratches on the roof, the front bumper ideally wants a re-paint, and it needs a OSF wheel bearing...but it's very nice and 'tight' in general. I'm very, very pleased with it.

Ryan you cheeky tart...as you well know, I would love a set of those lights...but if I remember correctly a certain someone (who previously said he didn't like them and wanted projectors) snaffled the last set that were on eBay without asking his poor, bedraggled housemate (outside in the cold...mid engine-swap) if he'd like them... ;-) :-P :rofl:
