too bad about the tweaked front bumper.
Otherwise... holy crapshaith it's nice.
The thing that's off-putting about these cars, especially compared to something like my blue on blue CV, is how hard it would be to find perfect parts for the few flaws that do exist. There's specs of rust starting on the rear bumper, the front one would be a biatch to get straight, and a couple interior pieces have chrome flaking. Minor, but are you ever really going to find better parts to fix them? probably not.

like I said, the car is magnificent.Originally posted by mercurygm88 View Post
I'm just saying it's too bad that it's almost impossible to find mint body parts them. keeps a 95 point car like this from ever being perfect.

dayum that brake booster is rusty. the upper control arm looks good and rusty too. At least a severe case of surface rust. I wonder how bad the frame is.
other than that and that half inch off tweak of the front bumper... the other question is... where are the shoulder belts for the front seat. I see the hanger, but no belt. That car is pretty though.

With the way cars were slapped together in the late 70s early 80s I wouldnt be surprised that bumper wasn't like that from the factory.
Nice car overall. I would detail the engine and call it done.2020 Volvo XC90 T6 Momentum (Ice White / Blonde)
