I do custom powder coating on the side and though it would share some of my work.

I bought by first volvo about a month ago and have been very happy with it. a 1998 v70xc.

Mods on the xc are the following

t5 engine and transmission swap
18t turbo w angle flange
OBX 3" downpipe
2.5" exhaust
No cat
Aftermarket intake pipe
ARD tune
13" rotors with 4 piston Wilwood calipers
AEM truboost
AEM wideband

These cars seem to be quite capable!

Back to the custom powder coating here are some images.

Those wheels are some 3 piece 19"s that went on a BMW.

The cobra calipers, I do quite a bit of because I offer a no down time exchange program on them.

Thanks for all the compliments.

Welcome, nice work. There are more people in the Houston area doing interesting things to 90's Volvos than you might think.

I picked a pretty circuitous route and arguably cheated slightly, but I'm going to get there

How many guys do we have in/near houston?

I'm going to be doing a manual swap in the future and would be interested in hosting a BBQ/wrenching day.

I have a pretty nice garage that can accommodate 2-3 cars at a time.

Man that is some nice powder and from what I know good pricing! Absolutely gorgeous! Is that glow in the dark on the exhaust tip or just very florescent?

That is called Glowing Aura. It is a transparent flourescent green coated over a chrome powder coat base.
