Clean with big brakes.

I love it.

[Blackbrick]

Lookin' good!

[CAPT_BLOTTO]

[homer1300]

very nice. the roof rails look good too. aluminum?

[neptune]

What exhaust is that? 2000 V70R or the IPD one? Hard to tell from the angle of the photo.
It looks good.

probably a Nick Choy special.

[CountOfNowhere]

g-g-gaaaangster!

[EricF]

Jeez that's just like my vision for my 855, just cleaner and nicer :lol:

Looks good!

[Dan242tic]

I don't see why everyone is drooling so much. I bet there isn't one zip-tie or drop of JB weld anywhere on that car! I also bet all of the smoke, oil and vapors stay inside their homes too.

[Hank Scorpio]

Jeez that's just like my vision for my 855, just cleaner and nicer and running :lol:

Looks good!

The drooling is involuntary. It's come about from years of inhaling the smoke and vapors present in their RWD cars.

LOL!

I wish... reason this took so long was oil and vapors didn't really stay inside their homes.

A few weeks ago I tried to bring her out for a drive, and lost a bunch of oil through the turbo drain-back tube. Evidently the lower seal (brand new) broke in two... WTF??? Only thing alerting me to the problem was a HUGE plume of white smoke in my rear-view mirror as I was getting on the freeway. Pulled a u-turn and put her right back in the garage. All is well now...

neptune: Not quite a Nick Choy special, but close. I took another V70R exhaust tip, punched a hole in the driver's side muffler, welded it on, and called it good. Exhaust has a bit of a deeper tone, but nothing offensive, even at WOT.

I see. Looks good.
For some reason the tips looked larger than mine, but didn't look quite as ugly as the round IPD ones that stick too far out of the bumper in most installations. So I didn't know quite what it was.

[RedFridge]

Yay...a Nick car.
Beautiful!

[volvogeek]

I like it! Can't wait to see 'er in person. :)

Im sorry hunnybunny, I only kid cause i love

[gattigang]

Looks good Nick. I think if the wheels were darker color it would stand out much better. Anyways I'm still missing the blue wagon. :cool:



g@ttigang

[GSWAGON]

You sure build some sick ass wagons...I actually like every modification you have done to your wagon! If I did not have my truck to daily drive it would be a v70r with similar mods.

I do miss your old wagon though, what did you decide to do as a project car? and what did you do with all those parts from your old one? did I miss the thread?

Looks good man!

[V Tuning S70]

Hot ride.

[Chris_R]

Needs more black B/C pillar but I like it!

[Aoder1]

looks good regardless but that thing is hot

[klr142]

Awesome. :cool:

And black B and C pillars would be :oogle:

[CaptainWhoosh]

plz be the new feature car

[klr142]

NO! It's not cool enough yet. Maybe someday though. Or maybe not.
