You should. Red wagons for the win!!1!one

Looks great man!

[corivus]

wow looks amazing, I've been contemplating that suspension setup while putting the volvo back together and its making me want to take the dive into it

[gmsgltr]

I love the suspension set up, I should have done it as my first mod(s)

to be specific the koni yellows and ipd blues are on the stock tire size 205 45 r17 and have certainly settled after about 3 months in these pics

i highly recommend this set up unless you are going to save $2k and get v2's or v3's

the sway bars in all honesty were less noticeable to me than the drop

thanks guys!

[rmorse]

The springs and konis are my first major mod to my R.

[Swag Swag]

Very tastefully moded, too much red in the engine bay for me, but there is way too much nice stuff to get hung up by that, keep it up!!

[Oreo931]

Yayyy soccer ball magnet!!

Lookin' good Greg

[rusheR]

Very clean wagon

[fastwagonhawaii]

I love the interior of your wagon so much.

[Overboost850]

There have been three great red wagons on this site and yours is quickly becoming number 4! (IMHO) Excellent work.

[Hippicus Rebuildacus]

SEXY SEXY!!! Bring that up to cuse' because I would love... to rob you haha. oh sweet tan interior how I loath you

[gmsgltr]

thanks guys!

the soccer magnet was great at the track this year lol people loved it

Kurt thats exactly why its not here in cuse lol

[gilber33]

Just a nice big ol' thumbs up.

[(n)A-GAME]

My R interior wishes it looked half as good as yours.

[Chilled Man]

You need some non volvo wheels on that .
And some tint at 35%

[gmsgltr]

ok sell me your ultralegaras for cheap Justin I want em or tritons...

i want tint but at the same time i dont, i like showing off my clean tan interior - i generally dont like tint with light color interior cars...

[Chilled Man]

$1000 pic a color and there yours.

you need at least 35% if not then do 50% that would pull the whole car together
