New Project: Ovlov

As things are moving on and the car should be being picked up this eve I thought I'd start a project topics for it. Now, updates are gonna be small and not very often. I'm taking my time with this one and you won't see it on the road until at least Nov next year, I know, but I need more no claims before I can insure it. I'm starting now so I have something to do with my free time.
Here is a pic of the car as she stands currently.



All plans are secret so please don't ask Well I'll give two pieces of info.
1. The car will be re-sprayed in black and white.
2. The theme is based loosely around Silent Hill, movie version.

I look forward to seeing some pictures!

Well, finally got the car today so have been out there making a start on the interior. I started off thinking ill just strip it and sell the seats to make a little money back on the car, but I'm torn, those seats are so dam comfy! Well, got the rear ones out anyway after a massive struggle to get the backs of the rear seats to unclip. So at the moment I have stripped out the entire rear section of the car from the front seats backwards. The door cards are staying at the moment as I have't yet decided on whether to put seats back in it or not. If I do they will be the cheaper fabric version seats. But dam were they heavy, I'm dreading taking out the drivers seat, its all electric, its gonna weigh a ton! Got a couple of other things to sort out as well, change the tyre on the alloy that's in the boot, replace the rear o/s boot window, replace the top section of the light on the o/s and re attach the spoiler. Due to a section of roof falling on the car at the previous owners house I now have to fix all those things, but for £250 you can't complain
Got some pics to add so ill post them in a min.

Sorry about that. Was gonna upload the pics but then my pc decided to f*ck up. So here I am to upload them now.













If anyone knows of anyone that wants a cream leather interior for a V70 then let me know. Drivers seat is full electric with memory, and the rear seats come with the built in booster seat.

A very quick Estate car fella, i like them alot

Keep us updated pal

Yeh according to the guy I bought it from it has around 200-220bhp standard. Thats before I mod the engine

They Fookin fast estates and make great sleepers

sounds good keep us posted on any updates

mmmmm volvo..... they are really comfy and a really nice drive, id keep the interior, its pointless putting in cloth which wears worse then leather! and they are lush seats!

could always swap it for black leather....

I think I've made my choice about the interior. The leather seats are gonna be removed and sold. The front ones will be replaced with bucket seats and the rear ones won't. Then in maybe a year or so I will be building an install in the back to fill the void left by the rear seats and boot!

Well. All wheels have been removed and brake pads and discs have been checked over. No problems there and all the discs and pads are in near new condition. Next task is to bleed the brakes and see if that solves the problem. I might be out Sunday to do this or it will be Tuesday.

Oh yeh, and sadly the other alloy that was in the boot is beyond repair. Massive chuck missing from it

Little update. Got round to sanding down part of the car today. Will be finished on Tuesday.

On my way out to the car now. I wish this miserable weather would piss off! I just want it to be dry.

Some more progress on sanding the paintwork. Rear spoiler is removed as it needs re-mounting anyway and it gives me the option of sanding it down at home, if its raining.
