take on a small, easy project first.

Like dropping a S70 AWD rear axle....

Precisely!

Changing windshield wipers is my favorite

I just installed a Nissens in the S70 yesterday, for what it's worth. Seems to be well made but I have no historical data yet.

Not having to deal with corroded bolts is probably making all the difference.

It was our anniversary weekend and we decided to take the V70 on a trip up north to the Berskshires in MA. The car was in desperate need to stretch it's legs, and we needed to get out of the house.

My brother and I could not pass this up. A genuine storage find. Enjoy!IMG_20210522_130701237_HDR.jpgIMG_20210523...

I would consider cooling equipment essential. Therefore it is usually the first thing on my list of parts to replace when I buy a P80 car with unknown history.
