Oh boy here we go,
'88 240
VX cam, 2.5" exhaust all the way from "Y" pipe to tail, Eibach springs, 25/25mm bars, strut to firewall and tower to tower braces (lowers on shelf waiting for time) Powder coated turbo wheels with Kuhmo 712 205/55/15, Bilstein HDs on all 4 corners, added 5 accessory gauges, oil pressure, volt, air temp, tach, (I like the big clock) and oil temp. All exterior plastic and bumpers repainted black with SEM plastic paint, tinted windows (yes including fronts) R-Sport steering wheel, Bertone trunk carpet kit, matching armrest with pull out cupholder. Adjustable panhard rod on its way from IPD. New carpet from a '93 with no wear on it, accessory cup beside the seat on passenger's side, interior fully soundproofed with dynomat clone. Black powdercoated valve cover with polished aluminum "Volvo" letters. Rear headrests with pads. Probably more I'm forgetting, plus new bushings all 'round some poly some Volvo.

'92 745T
VX cam on its way from ipd, adjustable timing gear on the shelf waiting for the cam, TME springs, 25/25mm bars, Bilsteins, optional 16" wheels with 225/50/16 tires, armrest with front and rear pullout cupholders. All windows except windshield tinted. Will be more but I've only had it a little over a month.

'84 245Ti project,
Perfect Bertone front seats, mint black leather back seat (From RC) TME wagon springs, 25/25mm bars, custom re-valved Bilsteins, roof rack holes filled in, Adjustable panhard rod on its way from ipd, turbocharged B23 with LH-2.2 in the works. R-Sport wheel, R-Sport dash cluster out of my old 244Ti and 5 accessory gauges on the shelf waiting to get the engine in. Will be painted a deep royal metalflake blue.

'84 245,
Dumped tan interior, changed to black, turbo wheels, overload springs, 23/23mm bars, oil/volt gauges, All windows tinted. New engine/ignition harnesses. This was my old work truck/dog hauler, I'll be parting this one out soon if any of you southern california folks are interested in good leather seats uncracked dash overload springs etc.

The folks down at RC will take good car of you, they're great people. As to what a car's worth, don't ever expect anyone else to value as highly as you do. That's not why we tweak these cars, we do it for love and to be a little different. At least that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
See you around.
