Well where to start, I have had a range of 4x4's in the past.
Mainly Landrover Discovery's, used them for work, off roading, well fairly much anything.
Well this Volvo V70 XC AWD 2.5 low pressure turbo and it's going to be my all use vehical from now on.
Bought it this week after a hunt for something a bit different.
What made you choose this one?
Well looked at it, in great condition
oh and it goes so well
Main criteria for this project?
Wanted something that was cheap to insure, easy to get parts with plenty of space
Modifications undertaken?
none yet (something will happen)
Modifications yet to do?
Well lets start a list:
Under body protection
Better tyres
How does it perform?
Well it goes very well, you can see why the police and ambulance use these as response cars.
The AWD system works great, with the TRACS and viscous coupling, it will go anywhere that the bumper will clear
What would you do differently?
so far nothing... but sure that will change
