Hi All I am in two minds, to what to do with my 1998 V70 R AWD. I have owned the car since 2003.It has been good to me, but is asking for to much ££ To get her 100% right. I have bought an 855 T5 1995 Which is very clean and drives very nice. It is a well looked after model with 155,000 on the clock. Can’t get used to the front wheel spin when you look at the throttle, but it’s a great raw drive! So the question is: Swap the Interchangeable bits over (Not sure what these all are yet) from the old V70 R AWD to the 850. Or run the 850 for every day use as it is, and sell the V70 in the condition its is? Or keep both and restore the V70 R slowly!!! The 850 is great drive but, I think it would benefit from some of the V70 R parts ? What do you think? Thanks everyone ...........Help.........:worship:

Do whatever you can afford. 1 good car is better than two shaky ones...

Drive the 850 as an everyday and slowly do up the v70r,but only if you can afford to.
