First time the car has been on the floor in 16 months after sitting on a hoist.

Just a little preview. Proper pics later after it gets started up on tuesday and a good once over before she hits the road. Cant say enough about the gloss black 18" Team dynamics. Just love the look. 15mm spacer rear and 5 front.

Thanks guys. The one thing I wanted was a mean lookin Volvo, as those two words dont usually come out of peoples mouths. The funny thing is thats exactly whats been said by cutomers who seen the car over the last week on the ground.

I would like the front too sit a little lower... but then again this pic was with no oil in the motor or any fluids really. So that might help and maybe after the suspension has few miles on it.

If this is the first time your springs are in, they'll need a bit of weight on them overnight to settle.
But honestly, it looks pretty low already.
Well, not low, but that "motorsport" type look.

Otherwise, your car looks effing amaaaazzzingggg!
I'd love to set that as my background once you take some nice pictures of it

Not a big fan of black wheels, but it really comes together nicely on yours.

Waiting to hear your overall impression of the car now with all the upgrades & the motor.
