Just a couple shots of mine and a friend's car-

My car has been down since May 2nd up until last Monday. Long story short, the car had 182k on it, low compression, bad valve seals, worn rings. I decided to replace it with a low mileage used engine, got a new engine, installed it, turned out the block was cracked. Returned it, bought ANOTHER engine, installed it, in the process of installing it I destroyed my transmission so I had to buy another one.
Now my engine has 92k on it, and my trans has 85k on it. The car is running beautifully, and I'm glad to have it back.

Mine is the yellow one.

Edit: Front mount goes back in soon

I love Volvo's in general, wagons more so- but your paint color and overall look makes up for the lack of cargo space in the rear

The color reminds me of my car, I def like it with the black trim it gives a nice contrast.
Props on a clean car and making a volvo look good.
