My mom's friend is looking to get rid of a Volvo wagon she has. It needs a little work, probably a distributor, but it runs like a champ otherwise. Little bit of body rust, but decent for the year. Heated leather, moonroof, and plenty of room for a system.

I will pick it up either way, but I am either going to sell this to my friend who is looking for a car, or my current car, the 'Grand Pricks' seen elsewhere on the forum. It's in good shape, but not really my cup of tea. Too many shakes, and no real way to fix rear suspension droop (transverse monoleaf suspension FTMFL)

Pics to follow shortly.

The Volvo /\

See avatar for Grand Prix. It has 140k on the chassis, 105k on the motor, and is rust-free. some dings and dents here and there but in good shape overall.

Any system I would do would be budget.Current investment in the Pricks is a scraped-together $240. So no walls or clamshells, sorry =/

I could stand to do a couple 15's though...

That's what I was thinking, the biggest issues she has had with the car were nothing compared to my car. I've had some biiiig issues with this car. I got it with a blown motor, swapped a working one in, then blew a water pump within months. I've put about 6k on it and its been decent, but i'm concerned about the oil pump and such. And replacing the oil pump means pulling the motor. Not something I wanna do again.
