Special bushing press.jpg I used the washer from the first bushing and turned it upside down and glued some top strut nuts on it to make an installation tool and a bushing bolt to fully seat the bushing. This was necessary so that the force is distributed on the plastic frame of the bushing, not th...

Nice work. The IMASAF exhaust looks like a quality unit. Love your large work area and the brick pavers. Thank you :) Yes, so far we had good success with the IMASAF exhaust on my partner's Volvo V70 II, so I went with them again. I'll have to check when the rear muffler was last replaced by the pr...

The dashboard kickpanel of my 1998 Volvo V70 I has a broken tab where it should be held in place by a screw under the steering wheel. While the previous owner "fixed" that by screwing a drywall screw into the side of the kickpanel, I preferred a more lasting repair... PXL_20240325_21572215...

Both door marker lights in my V70 I were broken (well, one was missing entirely), so I bought two new used ones (very inexpensively) which are not broken..

I made a short video before work. As you can see, it snaps in quite nicely and you can get it out again, but it won't fall out on it's own. It might take a few days until I publish everything on Printables.
