So, got this beauty little over two years ago and have rebuilt or repaired most of it. I drive about 30 000 kilometers per year so it needs to be comfy. And yeah, it has run 455 000 kilometers already in its rather short life.

The car when i got it.
Since that day most of it has changed, for the outside of the car, mostly downhill. The interior is completly rebuilt with purple roof and lower doorpanels. The front seats are taken from a Volvo 940 and have been refoamed inside, the rear seat from an older 740 since the 940-seat are a bit higher. The rear doorpanels are taken from the same 940 along with most of the plastics and the dashboard. The newer 940 has a lot smoother look in its dashboard.
Well, all youths need a good stereo and so did I, the crappy sound it came with is therefore thrown out and exchanged for quality parts. In total I have 840 w RMS inside of the coupe and all of it directed towards the front seats.

A most common view, yes the door is in a slightly different color.
