I just bought a 760 Turbo (pics up later) with Low miles (in volvo terms 155k is low miles lol) and was only driven 3K in the last year. My first project is a good cleaning (started yesterday), then I'm moving onto the paint (clearcoat's in poor shape on roof, hood, and trunklid).
I have a couple of opinion questions..
Should I keep the original Grey/silver color? (I think it'd look good in black...)
Should I put on a small lip spoiler (or factory spoiler off a later-model?)
Should I put on black rims (multispoke, like bbs)?
and one more...
Should I bump up the boost a little bit:oogle:?

Sorry about the image quality... I'll shoot more when I get a nice, sunny day to do a photoshoot.

Front, of course. I have some de-oxidization to do on the fog lamps. You can kinda see my paint-and-acid-rain-don't-mix issues here.

Ti = love. I don't think i've ever seen REAR fog lamps before...

Post-cleaning interior pic... the interior has gotta be my favorite part of the car.

Suggestions?

Over the weekend I did a bit of more detailed cleaning and removed the oxidation on the foglights (most of it, at least). I did a few preformance tests in an abandoned parking lot, which turned into just me drifting around light poles :grin:. umm... that's about it for now. this weekend should be repairing the seat that only half leans back and fixing the power antenna.
Oh... and I beat a completely riced-out prelude on friday night.. by about 6 car lengths :lol:.
