      I don't know what you mean when you say "make the car look nice" Other then clean it, I'm not sure what there is. Not into body kits or anything like you guys must be. Stock? Your right. My Volvo that I bought for $500 a year ago, Put a turbo on, dropped it, got some wheels, and Made them fit is stock. Ya got me. Stance Nation featured a STOCK CAR.

      What do you guys mean when you say "make it look nice" What do you want me to do, spend HOURS repairing the rust in a $500 car?

      I don't mean to go off on only you, But anyone who says "Atleast make it look nice" or something of the sort.

      And before you shit talk my car, Let see your first car. I pay for EVERYTHING my self. Food, gas, insurance, etc. While this might not seem like a big feat to you, remember how poor you were in HS.

      Not only that, THEY DONT MAKE THEM. One company makes coils, but theyre 1200 for a whole set. I'd rather not spend almost 3x what I bought the car for on coils. Thanks. 850 steelies.

      This is my E30.


      Which is getting this soon

        holy crap, defensive much?

        you posted pictures of a car on the internet, you didn't expect any criticism?

        I think the car looks like poo, and you like it. Great, right?

          No, I've always had people who shit talk it before, and I got tired of it. I'm aware of criticism, and definately can take it, but.....

          You guys are still way better than the Volvo forum. Thanks for all the feedback.

          And I still dont know,
          WHAT DO YOU MEAN "MAKE IT LOOK GOOD"

                      good work. you have inspired the wraith of r3v, which is kind of like pissing off sean penn. no huge feat. who give a shit what a bunch of bmw drivers think of your $500 volvo. if you like it, rock it. on a side note, holy shit man, is there anything you can do to get the hood aligned properly?

                        We're better then a volvo forum? What do they say about it? And as by "nice". Maybe fix all the dents in it, flip the bumper around, paint the trim thats chipping, put a suspension back under it... I don't know if it's only me, but if a car is going to be a "feature" Maybe some more work should be put into it so it dont look like a $500 car.

                        I see an age thing getting thrown around in this thread too. I'm only 31 and been around cars all my life. And i know people are into different type of cars, but it just seems like a new trend to have a car that, well just looks like a $500 car that came off of a dealers back lot. Then toss a set of wheels on it and be done. i know funds can be limited, but it seems that there have been no post on if there are more plans to work on the car in the future?

                          If you knew how to take criticism, you wouldn't even respond to the haters.

                          That said, I love old Volvo's. And I don't mind stretch either, but get rid of the fucking steelies.

                          That has to be the lamest fucking trend in the whole "herrafrush" community.

                                Maybe in the summer.

                                For now, just this


                                So I'm pretty sure the kid I bought it from fucked it up trying to get it to run. I'm not sure how the timing got off though...
