V70R

I bought my Volvo Oct 09 and obviously love it, starting first progression threat cuz i got a lot of upgrading i want to do to her.

Just got a used XC grill, painting a matte finnish - i don't like the shiny chrome.





I got these exhaust tips coming in the mail cant wait!


I have a pair of Magnaflows

Got some time to install my new cargo net.

Nice works

My new Koni adjustable Struts and some new Nevo's


New sticker

Looks good. I always wanted a V70R.

Thanks shes getting there, just got my exhaust tips in the mail.

Super clean !

So the struts easy enough for you ? I'm looking to replace mine since they are from the 80's

I had them put in, I have done some on my nova and it just takes alot of time and you can rent a spring press from a auto parts place. It's a great upgrade to do and you can adjust the ride to whatever your driving conditions are, lifetime waranty too so you won't have to replace them.

I'd love to pick these up for my wagon. Don't you have to do some kind of truing for the package after installation ?

you should drop that shit, im guessing you have a 740.
IPD has 1.7 drop kit and some koni's.
the only thing i had to do was get a 4 wheel alinement.

What kinda Nova we talking about here?

Your R looks great, even if it is wwd.

I didn't when I cut the springs on my 740, but it's probably a good idea anyway. You should be able to get the top of the strut out without disconnecting the bottom, which IIRC negates the need for an alignment. However, you should also do the bushings, especially the strut rod bushings if you haven't yet. Poly's dirt cheap, so you might as well pop for those over rubber.

Thanks, I have a 1968 Chevy Nova 350/350, but shes a whole other project build.
AWD pwns phace.

Matte looks good, and I assume you just buffed out the black areas cause they look really good too.
