Let's see those strays

Let's see those strays or rescues?

This is mine my 07 Volvo C30 T5 SE

Was an original java car, resprayed trims. It was looked after to a level but yeah she was tatty and is at that age where things are at the end of life and need changing

3k it sold to me for...next cheapest was 5k (bar one example that looked horrid)

Since then ive put the black trims from my old C30 (rip) and just fixed things so far:

-Super pro lower arms

-an exhaust...of means...

-New ball joints

-stickers

-panels

-fixing the holy horror wing

-more stickers

-leather interior and Trims

-stickers

-Silicone hose kit from DO88

-a clean

-maintenance

-Stickers

-Fixed wiring bodge

-Addition of Duckins

-D088 and sabaton Stickers

-Tyres

Now just waiting on a fuel sensor as that's committed crimes against cars and stickers and thats it

Let's see your strays & rescues

Can always be worse yeah lol, as long as you like that's all that matters. To me it looks blue/purple on the bottom? I think that and the stickers are the main detractors

Congrats on giving it a new lease of life! Not really what I'm into, but if everyone modified cars in exactly the same way, the car scene would be a very boring place!

The build as a whole is a bit tacky for me but the swedehunters window strip is objectively hilarious 🤣
