I’m blessed far beyond what I deserve. Gotten to a point in life I see how broken the world is, and how much pain is in the world. So many struggle each day, many in situations they don’t have control over. And some overcome those challenges with joy over this one thing—Thankfulness.

Today's milestone. Cylinder head is in place and torqued down. No broken bolts today. 36 inch breaker bar made quick work for the last torque step.

38 years of marriage. My wife is a stage III breast cancer survivor. 33 years in remission.

I got a good education that did not cost me a lot. My parents taught me to work hard. Together these kept me working as a engineer in the same small town for nearly 40 years.

We could maybe look at starting a thread we can add to for NLA parts for AWD P80's, and or rare/expensive parts that may be worth harvesting? Neil. There was a thread on volvospeed I had seen a while back with excellent info on parts numbers for practically all the unique parts on the rear subframe...

Heatshield bolt, or downpipe flange? Or is that the one you lost last time you were working on it.............?

Neil.

I may be heading to a self service junkyard in the next week so I'll watch for it. I'll be looking at a 1998 so I hope it fits the 1999.

98-00 should be the same. 850 are different.

And don't mix Exxon and sea water.

Whoops... those oetiker clamps work much better when clamped!
