This is my 1997 Volvo 850 R sedan. I've replaced some stage 0 stuff, and now I need to work on a few suspension components to get the handling back up to par. The torque rod mount and bushing are bad, and the lower tranny mount needs replacing as well. All can be done for ~$200, so it'll be fixed before the cold weather hits.
I've updated the page setup and moved the old pictures to the last page.
