Hi . I purchased my beaut about a year ago. It had a few minor mods. Stage 1 chip remap and strutt brace. I have scince done a bit more work to it but am nowhere near to where I want it. I have joined so I could get some advice on what would be best and so on. I am currently doing the head gaskets as I am getting no compression so that should be sorted by the weekend. Then its a case of what to do next.

Welcome aboard :) What model/year V70 are we talking here? (if the HG has gone, I imagine pre-2000 P1). You've come to the right place for info and answers but in return, we'll need some pictures of the car (we like pictures here :) )

KFC... Great, I'm hungry now :( Not seen air ride on a V70 (not to say it's not been done - it probably has). Would be an interesting project thread tho :)

Projector lights would set that front end off nicely :) What about coilovers? You can drop it right down on them without the huge expense or agro of hydros.

Projectors would look nice but haven't been able to source any for rhd. Have thought of coil overs but am not to keen on the rock solid ride it will supply. .I like a bit of comfort thats why I got an auto... (getting lazy) spend all week on the road in my other volvo.
