  1. got mine last week! forgot to mention that, its currently sitting in my parts pile along with a lot of other things.
  2. small update really, plastidipped my front grill about 3 months ago and here's a shot from daily driving 7 days a week for both work and rescue related things as well as some time for fun I also added in these, along with the matching seats to go in once I have time! That's really it, I've been boring otherwise!
  3. This gave me a bit of a chub....67 GT500 !
  4. Good to hear whenever you pm me I should respond now that I'm back in the US !
  5. well good to know I may just remove the rounded portion today, and thanks for the info JVC thats been the main thing I've been wondering about I have the Touring Shocks and it feels like I'm bouncing hard off every bump on them.
  6. lol my engine bay is always dirty! but the bouncing rocks would bug me :| and JVC I am going to assume your running coilovers yes? do you know what the ride quality is between D2's and KW's?
  7. have you have any issues with not running fender liners?
  8. For those of you who have rolled fenders and have the turn signal add on's instead of the volvo emblems in your fenders, how did you secure the wiring harness so it doesn't get caught? I was thinking double sided tape but that feels a bit to sketchy...

  10. So nothing really big to update aside from driving it and enjoying the ever living crap out of it right now, I did the horn repair kit and now have a working horn after 4 years of ownership. Once I put it in I realized it was too tight and when I took my g/f's sister out we had a fun time figuring this out when going over any speedbumps. I also repaired my tailgate trim which had come off completely, it was repaired once but wasn't a really good job. This time around I put some shims in and epoxied everything in and now it sits pretty comfy. I also installed my MSD Blaster coil again, I figure since I have it why not install it. I have a few things that are piling up around the house for either repairs or upgrades which I'm hoping to get installed soon, maybe this Wed-Fri if possible since those are my days off. I had a few people suggest rebuilding my Billie's into coilover's but from what I have read it can get bouncy, this is my DD so not sure I want that at all. For the time being I'm going to look into lowering springs. I've read around and IIRC I was told by Cameron that the IPD springs are a bit more aggressive and offer a 1/2" drop over the Eibach's. But I haven't seen if anyone has used H&R springs and can attest to how the ride feels with those? Since my first photo the suspension has settled a little bit more, but not by much, which means if someone has lowering springs for the P80 platform pm me I may be interested if its a good price!! Yeah so this is what it looks like now :| Yes thats snow in the greater phoenix area!! Also photoshop chop someone did, I actually think I'd like to be 1/2" higher in the front and maybe 3/4" - 1" higher in the rear for reference current photchopped
  11. seriously your in sedona right now? I'm over in payson on vacation haha very nice lookin v70
  12. JVC is correct, I'm not running any spacers, in the front or back I forgot about the TA coilover thread I may actually get the fronts and then look at getting the IPD springs as well. Might not be for a while since I put money in my cruise fund but we shall see I think I'm going to go to 205/40/17 after running these
  13. I've seen pat's photos, although from what I've seen the v70's have more room then the 850's in the wheel wells I am determined to make this fit though
  14. The gap in the front is a bit much for me... I'm hoping it settles but if not any suggestions? was looking at ipd for the fronts or maybe eibach And the rears which I like a bit more but not sure if I'd like to rock the rake if I lowered only the front...
  15. Photos posted with the eiker's on, currently no rubbing issues with the size I am on, and I have full range of motion. This is of course on stock height, I plan on going lower, just not at this time. We are going on a cruise in a few months so this will prob be the last big spendy thing I do for a little bit Of course I have plenty of other goodies to throw on once I get around to it!
  16. Bought this last year for some mild trail riding gonna start riding again now that I have recovered a bit more hopefully, 2 pack a day smoker for 2 years at my worst before I quit.
  17. I am with everyone else, I would be down for that piece as I haven't found this one in good condition, I actually am going to pull my dash in the next month or so to address a few creaking points in it. and I still have whats left of my old dash but that's pretty much dead.
  18. If I ever do sell I'll keep you in mind, it was your original post while searching for rims that led me pick them up the first place actually. Since I first saw em on tb I've wanted a set. Thanks for the info, though I think that was several years ago, but yeah it was a trip from phoenix to flagstaff and I think that time of year it was a +/- 40*F temp change while driving up. Haven't done much at all with these, I installed the new headliner which looks great, just need to get those trim pieces to make it look much cleaner. Hopefully next week I can do a bit better test fitting to see where everything is at while I"m rolling fenders.
  19. Laying tile in the living room today!

  20. I found a set of Eiker's before I could find a set of Polaris, and Eiker's seem to pop up every year or two on tb and even less on here so you can imagine how often Polaris pop up.
  21. fender roll is coming the weekend after next! was a little nervious to set them down on 2x4's. I put em on some spare wood I had sitting around with the jack to compress them. I'll prob pick some 2x4's up then to see how it looks then. specs are 17x7.5 et 20
