I found This blue 1998 Volvo C70 coupe about 5 months ago and have been slowly learning as much as I can to get it restored and eventually modified to race at our local track.

There were some things wrong with the Volvo when I spent $1000 on it. Crunched in left front fender that's connected to the front bumper with zip ties. the a/c compressor wasn't working, engine light was on,  tires were worn. I paid to have an ac compressor installed as I just don't think I know enough yet and summer was here.  OBD2 showed a few codes like "running too rich", and "secondary air injection system".  Those are fixed now too. I really feel like i'm riding around in something special. The turbo is fun and the car itself has sparked my interest incredibly. I have learned a ton in the past few months and i'm ready to learn more so I joined this forum. 

Any tips or experience you want to pass on please let me know. As I said before im new to all of this and just want to keep this car as long as possible and most likely race it.  Ill add more pics below if I can figure it out.

ABS light comes on every now and again but the other lights are finally off.

The inside is super clean and the car runs amazingly.
