2001 Volvo XC70

A run-down 2001 V70XC was bought for $1,000 mainly for the rare OEM Volvo Auxiliary light bar and harness, then became interested in restoring the car. Was persuaded by friends to manual-swap the car with an M66, and so began the full restoration project. The car was eventually going to end up as scrap with the previous owner, but the brown color and potential for it to look amazing again led to me a full engine-out, interior-stripped restoration project that has spanned almost 2 years.
