Nice car. If it was mine, I'd try to get the 200 bhp restored and then do the shocks/bushings. We have owned white blocks here since 98 and a few have had HG issues - so definitely look into that re lack of performance. Re the gearbox, if it's working well I'd keep it - I know NA has a bit of an obsession with 'stick' but in the rest of the world our grandmothers drive manual Suzukis :D I think all the 960/S90 alloys were nice so you can't go wrong there - so stick them on and drive it for decades! Whatever you do, it's a really nice car and a Volvo exec told me that if Volvo built the 960 today, they would need to charge about 130,000 Euro for it..! Best of luck with it.
@@lukemallory7832 yeah I’ll be assessing it over quite a bit before sinking any real money. I am guilty with the obsession to manual swap over here. So much more unique than a bmw:)

Car looks like in good shape
