update to the car
So, work has improved - I've been offered 3 jobs and have decided to accept a new position within the current organisation rather than re-locating so as such the car is no longer for sale and is due to be VRT'd to irish plates in the next few weeks.
As such, my father is taking possession of it as I'll be swapping it for his Ford Mondeo Ghia X instead which is in getting a full service in my local ford garage this week in preparation of my using it for a while.
Had a deal with the ford dealership to use the Volvo, despite it's great condition, as a scrappage deal against a 2017 Ford Mondeo Vignale AWD but my father twisted my arm to give him the Volvo S70 instead, despite the €4,500 trade-in offer against a new car. So will continue using the Volvo AWD myself which is NCT'd since November (see photo) from time to time and put it onto classic insurance next year once the policy for the Ford Sierra is due renewal for €278 for both cars under one limited mileage policy.
I've gone ahead and fitted the crystal headlights gotten from RollingThunder as well as the egg crate grill which really make the car.
Removing the ABS unit tomorrow and with a mates help will be resoldering the contacts to get the abs and tracs lights (intermittent as they are) to final disappear.
So pictures...
