new pics of old stuff:
Springs and spring seats from a V70R to be installed soon. Roughly a 2" drop:

Shift knob I swapped up on a while ago (free parts are fun):

Instrument cluster/gauges I swapped in from an '04 XC90. (font is diff and this one has the aluminum trim rings around the gauges. Stock XC70 does not.) Once again, gotta like free parts:

And today, I finally got around to painting my grill black. It was fading gray, with some of the bare plastic showing through the paint. I'll take a pic of that later, camera battery went kablooie and needs to be charged.
