Right, best start off by introducing myself before getting into things here! I'm the recent owner of a D5 S60 (163bhp), the old girls a 53 plate with 164,000 on the clock. Its in reasonable condition besides a few war wounds and mechanical quirks I hope to address, mainly the rear passenger door which features a large dent courtesy of the postman, a few interior niggles and a turbo bodge fix I'd like done properly. Servicing has been pretty comprehensive with oils, cambelts and what not done in due time, the only thing worrying me at the moment is the DMF and clutch when it decides to go, expensive stuff! I'm currently undoing about 10 years of what can only be classed as, appalling detailing lol. The interiors in the process of having everything shampooed, hoovered and treated. The same goes for the bodywork but I'm slowly taking that one panel at a time to save my sanity and shoulders. I just did the bonnet with a clean, clay, and the meguiers 3 step jobber. Anyway, look forward to badgering you all with endless questions, queries and otherwise annoyingly obvious things! Onto a few piccies, please excuse the awful quality but I'm trying to hide the overall crap'ness of its current state, with trick aka limited photography; Image Image Image Yay! Clean washer jets and trim! Image Image And a freshly cleaned bonnet, which I'm not sure is that much cleaner than I started and now shows up all the glorious stone chips haha Image Not forgetting my latest 'mod', releasing my inner geek Image

welcome to the club, you need to polish with black polish not white.

Welcome to the forum, fromthe description of the car I thought you'd bought Pedro's, but having seen it, I realise you were lucky enough to avoid that one. ;)

thanks for the warm welcome guys, OCP also made this fetching key chain too Image its official though, i truly hate multi spoke alloy wheels. i had a set years ago which drove me to the brink of insanity and this set looks to do much the same, I think I might have to look into getting another set of Volvo 17's ASAP! oh and to T5frankie, that is the stage 1 paint cleaner not the polish (which is a lovely poo brown if it helps!) This evening I managed to do the drivers wing and door, I think the clay did most of the work but I'm slowly getting there. Tomorrow I'm hoping to set aside most of the day to get all the exterior done, fingers crossed!
