I've got some parts to put on, but my back keeps going out so it keeps getting put on the back burner, not even sure I could wash and wax it to put a car cover on at this point. Hoping for surgery in a few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drilled a hole through the block wall above my garage to mount a camera this weekend. The s70 is now Grey. 😂 Have someone coming over for a wash, clay bar, wax in the next 1-2 weeks, and a car cover.

Awesome to see these still looking in great shape. Saw one pop up for sale over the weekend with a bad top motor though, almost pulled the trigger. What brembos did you put on?

Got this set ; https://eeuroparts.com/product/brembo/3088621KIT looks like the full kit is out of stock now.. I had just put a set of the rears on my 90 .. probably the nicest rotors I've ever used ... Top motor, top motor... I have one .. I want to swap the top over from my parts car to my GF's car tho .. been meaning to do it for a year or two now .. hers is good shape but the rear window was reglued awhile back and the one on the parts vessel is mint .... white car is very clean other than some cracked paint on the rear bumper, will prob be painting the one from my parts car and installing that at some point.. do you still work at Lkq?? Got a few random things I am looking for but no C70's in yards around here anymore.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
