The corners with plastic over them

The Headlamps, they are such beauties

The LED strips to do the horizontal turn signal if you want it to blink. You can also wire it up to just stay on for parking

The LED side emitting strip that was wrapped around the projector beam to give it a "halo / angel eye" look

man buy the time you are done with everything you are not going to want to sale it.

i never wanted to sell it BUT who the hell needs a HPT Manual c70 convertible, a xc90, a 97 855 GLT and a 98 v70 T5M? AND only me driving those 4 cars, my wife has her own Mini Cooper Clubman S that she loves.

If I get $6000 for the car, i can part with it. In the mean time, i will continue on with my project :P

Apparently, T5's are at 10PSI? 17 is more fun

Up next, CBV block off, SAS Mod, SAS remove all that shit and then FMIC Setup.

I do love driving this car though, Its a fun car.

I made a reasonable offer right after he finished with the head and Steve has kept modding ever since.

Honestly if I bought it to flip, I would not have changed so much stuff. There was no need to swap out the alternator, starter, heater core,coolant temp sensor, upper and lower rad hoses, heater core hoses, pcv, or headlamps.

Fmic and bov, done today...pics up tomorrow tired today.

well it is obviously a keeper now at least for a while anyway.

Not true $6000 it can be sold :P

I assure you it is worth every single penny. I do not think there would be a nicer one out there in this configuration.
