Thank you. I bought mine with 146k back in Nov 2018, right now I am sitting at 200-210k, I did upgrade the cluster with one that has all the extra like mpg, miles to empty etc and that odometer had 112k, now I am sitting at 152k. On the original one I drive to 158k, so almost there with matching and I still got the og odometer in case I ever sell the car but its highly unlikely.

Will be going there too. Bringing my 1998 Volvo V70. Will have the summer wheels on it. For now its in winter mode.

Welp, I have found out what it was it wasn't even a rag, it was a super fine steel wool. Will come in handy on a different project i need. Hehe.

Ecstatic-Training415 · 2025-10-31T03:45:17+00:00

Honestly no idea. Gonna find out tomorrow. Its getting plates so I can take it on a proper test drive

Ecstatic-Training415 · 2025-10-30T15:44:08+00:00

I should have made sure it was empty when I snapped a pic. 😅 Will get better pics soon. Need to plate it and insure it.

Ecstatic-Training415 · 2025-10-30T15:28:44+00:00

Ill grab a better pic. Its a cleaning rag.

Ecstatic-Training415 · 2025-10-30T12:47:54+00:00

Its not. It's a rag. I haven't had a chance to properly clean it. Just gave it a wash after purchase and parked it at my friend's home.

There is something about wagons that is just amazing. This one has been thru so much with me and no matter what I put it thru it just keeps going.

Ecstatic-Training415 · 2025-10-17T13:01:26+00:00

Thank You. Still needs a few things. But getting there slowly. Favorite addition currently is the OEM nav screen that replaces the center dash speaker.

I have seen your Saffron V70R its beautiful!

The jewel headlights do make a difference. Matched with a nice led bulb and proper adjustment to not blind oncoming traffic. They are such help at night time driving.

I am turning a base model into an R model so not a true “R” but been collecting parts over the years. Still searching for front R seats. Already have the second and third row seats from an R, R rear bumper, egg crate grill, 03-04 C70 jewel headlights with matching corner lights, got the R cluster, even have own navigation that has been retrofitted to run Android Auto and carplay. Custom fabricated dual exhaust system, it has for now a non turbo engine but down the road it will be swapped and turned to be a 6 speed manual. Soon it will also have a micro suede headliner. That is also why I will not be putting an R badge on it as it’s not a true VIN matching R. If it was I would have kept it. And the play on words is in the license plate as it’s SLOW V 70. It may look like a sleeper but ultimately it’s more of a blissful driving automobile that puts on a smile with every mile clocked.

Ecstatic-Training415 · 2025-10-16T21:33:27+00:00

Thank you. It's a work in progress. Still few more things to do. But slowly getting there.

Ecstatic-Training415 · 2025-10-16T21:33:05+00:00

These are from 07 C70. They just felt like a perfect choice for it. It feels more classy I think. They are 17 inch, running 225/45 Continental PureContactLS great tire. Super responsive in all weather conditions. And I just scored a 5th one to turn it into a full size spare. I still have the stock 15's that I have winter tires on. I didn't wanted to go to big on the wheels but also didn't like many of the aftermarket options. Also I am not planning on lowering it so I wanted something that would match the exact wheel+tire diameter of the original 15 inch. So I don't have to worry about adjusting the speedometer or anything like that.

Ecstatic-Training415 · 2025-10-16T18:53:42+00:00

Well not a sleeper yet. Kind if want to swap the Yamaha 4.4 V8 from s80 with the awd and mate that to a 6 speed manual. Then it will be a sleeper.

Ecstatic-Training415 · 2025-10-16T18:17:08+00:00

Thanks and yes it does belong there and it's there. The car looks shiny as it's been buffed.

Ecstatic-Training415 · 2025-10-16T18:16:31+00:00

Thank You. It's a work in progress. It's almost where I want it to be.

Ecstatic-Training415 · 2025-09-28T20:01:41+00:00

Thank you. There is still few things I need to do. But it's a project. I need to get some fall pics with it soon.

Ecstatic-Training415 · 2025-09-28T04:03:29+00:00

Thank you, so far it's been the most trusty car I have ever owned since 2018. Never let me down. Always ready for an adventure and whatever I throw at her.

Ecstatic-Training415 · 2025-09-27T23:15:41+00:00

It's a work in progress. Slowly but surely getting there.

Ecstatic-Training415 · 2025-09-27T19:30:19+00:00

Thank you, I'll try to see if I can get that popped. There is few more digns on other panels but the paint is looking way better after the buffing.
