Hi, I'm new here. My name is Patrick (lights candle) and I am addicted to Volvos. Actually, I just bought my first. It's a 1990 780 Bertone Coupe. It is in meticulous mechanical shape, thanks to a PO with an unlimited budget. However, his daughters drove it to and from college, so it's had a rough life cosmetically.
I have so far fixed the paint, given the basic tune-up, installed a 3" exhaust (since the PO put a non-turbo on it...{shudder}) and installed a boost controller as well. The interior has been scrubbed and shows a really decent condition under all the dirt and grime. I have also had the body resprayed (black or course) as well as replaced one of the wheels that was bent.
My question is: Where do I go from here? I would love to find suspension for it, but I have been told that the Bertone has no aftermarket suspension options besides cutting coils. I would also like to find a set of wheels like the 17" Polaris or even better the 16" version of the BBS mesh wheel I have now in 15s.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am no stranger to cars and tuning, since I have a show and auto-x winning VW. I just love this car way toooo much to leave it alone. Thanks to all. http://********************/smile/emcocktl.gif
