1996 Volvo 850 GLE

2.4L 10-Valve 5 speed Non-turbo :( but thats ok.

Leather, power windows and doors. Has a couple of little surface rust issues that I have to deal with, its all body, the underneath is mint. And I might just change the drivers door completely to avoid trying to fix the rather random hole that has rusted there. Will post updates :D

Sweet. I've strangely liked those since they came out. Score on the 5spd too. I don't think we had the manual option here in the states, if we did they were in really small numbers.

Me too, but its the 10 valve, its like the retarded nephew of the good engines, this one has valve problems, the seats wear and it burns oil, but I have a bill that says it was rebuild less than 30k ago so I'm hoping it runs for the long haul!

Hey man I started out with one brick and now I have 2, RWD though. I like what you are doing with your brick. Here is an impressive brick, I was at the track down in Alabama back in September.
