    Did you used to work at the Pizza Hut down there in Fayetteville? Jud, right?

    Thats a nice looking turbo setup. Do you have any pics of the front end or the engine bay?

    Its looking a whole lot better without all the stickers and the mis matching rims. It actually looks good now. Plz get rid of some of the tv screens, shit that will prolly save u 50lbs in weight alone. Also I am glad u got rid of the wing

    Your car has a lot of potential. Not many Volvos out there, especially early 90s ones.

    looks good man!

    only thing I would suggest is some spacers or a different offset to get those wheels flush.
