Ok, to go along with that video and my new digi camera, I have new pics. painted rims, new exhaust, some badging, and some painting.










I am getting another "0" from pat (brickster), so it'll say S700 ( aka stephen 700)

oh or ill sell you my columbos for 200 bucks

[SH8KDWN]

Much better pics. S700 I like it.

hey did you tape over your blinkers?

I thought the turn signals weren't in the corners on the 740s like they are on the 850s? (I don't remember for sure tho since I sold my 7 last year)

Pics look good though

if you're gonna keep the tape on I'd say continue it on the corners as well to complete the look

Awesome! I love old school Volvos

yea. the blinkers are the lights under the headlights. with the tape, that whole raised edge lights up when the turn signal is on. I didn't even think of bringing the "eyebrows" over the corners.

and thanks for the comments everybody. my car is a poor man's work in progress

and I also used my new electric waxer and new wax:






That shines up pretty good for 20 year old faded paint, doesn't it?

Nope... You should get a 4 from an S40, make a 740, while your at get another and make 744.

yea, it is easier to get a 0 than getting a 4. especially at what pat offered me for it

LOL .

Car looks good man . I'm liking the Anthracite Dracos. What kind of prep did you to do before you painted them? I've got a set that I want to paint, even though I don't have a car to run them on (yes... I am that bored) because they have a lot of scratches on them.

I'm also liking the tape you put on the lights, goes well with the bumper and grill.

[KS_R]

looks killa, love the brows. is it a buffer or a "electric waxer"?

[Patrick.]

looks 1000 times better w/ the corners brow'd

i just took them off, washed them, and sanded them with some 1200 or so grit sand paper and put like 3 coats of duplicolor spray paint on them.
