I bought my 1998 Volvo S70 T5 (5 Speed) off from Craigslist in New Hampshire.  The car was first posted for 2500, but it needed a new CV Joint, Brakes, Intercooler, Exhaust (which I didn't know about until I traveled 4 hours to see the car).  I could see that the car had a lot of potential, so My dad, Grandpa and I talked it over.  I offered the guy 1800, and he took it.  It is an investment considering all the work tht needs to be done to it.  The car only has 112K miles on it, which is one reason that I purchased it.  I needs a lot of other deeds to get it running at top notch.  It needs a new paint job on the hood, both bumpers, spoiler and trunk lid.  It also needs new fog lights and the Sunroof needs work.  It's going to be a fun car to get going!

 

A picture of the ride back home from Milford, New Hampshire.  The Vermont roads and snow made it interesting:

good progress on the car duder. glad to see you got everything worked out. sorry i didnt get you that diagram but if you still rockin a CEL and it isnt like MAF but a System lean let me know because the TCV might have been routed wrong. i have it somewhere i just havent looked hard enough.stealthy move on movin the horns man i hate how each one blocks like 50% of each opening. it does help. i did it myself a while back i put em next to the SAS pump. youll enjoy the TCV after its broke in and the WOOSH from the intake is sweet. glad i could help... you should put credits for me on those pictures haha but you got me beat in 1 place the samco hoses so tu chez. peace hommie good looks on the T5
