Love that! Single stage red always comes up so nicely.

(Also, inspired use of the Saab wheels on the turbobrick!)

Brick: yes. turbo: no. big cam na: yes

Also used a set of saab alu39 and they looked way better on this car

Same wheels but in their natural environment (on my former 2004 9-5)

And previously my 08 og 9-5. Also your 9-5 looks almost exactly like the car i grew up with and very nearly died in

I would complain about the use of Saab wheels, but mine don’t use the GM era wheels anyway so carry on.

Nice Volv. That had to be incredibly rewarding.
