The “New” Volvo

I now have my replacement car, a 1998 V70 T5. The body is overall in good shape and it looks like someone took care of it at some point. It has an IPD tcv, hid’s, IPD rear load springs, k&n air filter, and upgraded plug wires. The guy I bought it from trashed the interior, it’s nasty. The car has 217k on it. The motor has a very bad head gasket, there’s oil dumping out of the turbo, and I don’t know what the oil looks like because the dipstick is broken.

I plan to use my R motor and subframe assembly with front suspension from my pewter car. I will be using the T5’s transmission, A/C system, and power steering rack. I will also be using the full charcoal R interior out of the pewter car.
