The good:
It's a fucking turbo volvo for a start
Custom 3 inch dump then turbo-back into twin 3in blast pipes by Havoc Fabrocation
Upgraded diff 5 speed manual swap
Leather interior w/heated seats
Wastegate actuator set to 13psi
VDO boost gauge
Huge Volvo front-mount
Lowered Koni Red shocks and springs
Tinted windows
Half a car worth of spares, entire front end I had ready for replacements if needed after track work
Spare drivers seat
Spare later-model engine with thicker (13mm) rods and later-model manifolds
No rust anywhere
Stripped roof lining looks great but might not be everyone's flavour
Great carpets, front seats aren't the best but they've seen a bit of use
Added rear swaybar
Superpro bushes in rear section and swingarms
5 puck ceramic clutch
Service history and receipts somewhere..
The bad:
Some paint fade in patches on the roof and on the bonnet
Dash has a couple of cracks
Carpark ding on drivers front quarter
Dent in rear bumper
Idle valve clogs every few months causing it to acquire a very angry idle note which actually sounds kinda cool
Passenger front tyre bald on outer edge thanks to all the roundabouts where I live
Suspicious RH engine mount making a weird noise I think
Turbo leaks a bit oil from oil feed line
$3500 AU or best offer.
Verdict? BTW, this is from an Aussie FB page.

$3130 USD? This is a close one. Probably NP, but make it $2500 and NP all the way.
EDIT: went back and actually read the mod list. Eehhhhh. Sorry no. Not for me. But then again, I like my cars as original as the day they were built. Yes, I know I'm a hypocrite as I own a modded Miata.

Sounds like all the mechanical issues could be fixed in a weekend, and that the worst thing about the car is cosmetic defects that all 20-some-year-old cars have. Overall it appears to be a NP, especially with all the extras thrown in and all the work done. If you could talk him down to or below $3k you could have yourself the best value-for-money Volvo in Oz.

You're the seller? I got put onto it by a member of the Drift Sales group who knows Jalops have a hard on for manual wagons, the turbo was just icing.

Yeah mate, I got sent this by a mate who found it floating around a Volvo car group haha.
Thanks for the extra publicity I guess, it's always cool to see something you're proud of be appreciated; or at the very least to polarise people like it seems to be doing. If there's any interest from anyone that sees this post, you can find my facebook by searching 'braedon mcguinness' for questions, etc.
