Default weather has been mild here today ...so ......

Has been well above freezing today so gave the 740 a good jetwash to get rid of the salt from the roads . I should have taken a before picture as the car was looking in a very sorry state lol .
I have also fitted the new rear lights that I bought from a memeber on here , they are genuine Volvo and must be honest are like new . Much better than the cloudy smokey ones that where originally on it .

Well here are a a couple of pics now its clean again .... will be dirty again tomorrow no dought !!





And the lovely lights lol ...........




Not bad for a car thats nearly 21 years old hey ?

Thumbs up

looking good stiggy, hoping to get out and wash mine this weekend before the freeze returns! i do like the later type tail lights on 744 it's a cleaner look.

i see what you mean about the wheels they look abit small? have resolved your wheel swap yet? rigel's would look great on there! i'd quite like the 240 virgo alloys on my 940 easier to clean than the aries.
