Pre-paint check

A big hello to all!

Well, I haven't posted for what seems like ages now, but I can assure you I have very good reasons.
First, in May, I got married to the most wonderful woman in the universe. Then, in July we went in our honeymoon for 2 glorious weeks.
And now, in September I am planning what to do next on my car.

So, as you already know, I have decided to update the car, and change the color. I also made a poll for all of you, to help me decide what shade of Volvo blue should I choose as my next car color. This poll will end on the 1st of July next year.

But this project will not be just a paint and drive one. Oh, no... During this project I also intend on switching the front bumper and grill with the 2007 model, headlights again with 2007 ones, electric mirrors (this I haven't decide yet whether to go with 2005 model or 2007 model that has the side blinkers integrated), jewel tail lights, new V O L V O badge, rear bumper (again 2007 model) and the double exhaust system I've put off for so long.

I hope all this mods, with the new paint job will cut a few years off my car. Besides, the car really needs a few paint spots repaired because this year no less than 3 folks gave their best shot in destroying my car with the classic method of ramming theirs into mine. :))

After all this will be finished, I will start to look for ways to improve my engine performance.
Very soon I will write another post or two about 2 items I bought from Ebay which you will find in the Unboxing section of my blog.

Wish me luck. Also, If you happen to know someone who is interested in selling the parts I described above, new or used condition, do let me know.
