Re: Custom 3D Printed Parts for P80 Volvos

It's great that you're offering replacements for such old cars. Consider creating new parts for common problems, like a stopper for the center console arm rest hinge to prevent it from over extending backward and snapping the weak stopper in the console plastic. I've been working around that failure...

Re: 3D Printed Kickpanel Repair Patch

Thanks for making such a helpful contribution to the community! Consider talking to VPrints about scaling up production.

Which other screw mounts do we need 3D printed repair parts for? Dashboard mounts, glove compartment, wagon trunk light trim.

Re: FCP Euro coupon code for 5% off

Looks like history is repeating itself as FCP has begun to follow the 2023 pattern of sales. They're offering 5% off $250+ using the code DRIVE5. It's not clear when this ends. It's not an amazing sale compared to their others but it's still something.

Opinions about Dave Barton's high mileage badge stickers

Hi, can anyone comment on the quality of Dave Barton's high mileage badge stickers ? Have you used sticker, magnet, or reverse cling sticker (for inside a window)? Dave created the beloved Prancing Moose so I trust he's got experience making good products. My Volvos deserve a handful of these, but I...

Re: where do you keep your phone in your 850?

The best mounts are from Kuda. They are fiberglass, custom designed for each year/make/model, wrapped in leather which matches interior trim. I had one on my 2002 Mercedes E320 and it looked like a factory accessory. Their 850 mounts appear to be available, including a lovely side mount. I remember ...

Re: Post to this if you're having trouble. The server move thread.

I'm not seeing some avatars for showing up. The site is leaving a blank for them. ZionXIX didn't show up, for instance.

Thanks for all of your work on this site!

Re: I miss you guys

The family member I was caring for recently died. Now I'm working to settle the estate. It will be tough finding time to work on cars and contribute how I'd like to the forum, but I'll try. So I still miss you guys. Reading the forum takes me longer than usual because I'm taking notes. There's so mu...

Re: FCP Euro coupon code for 5% off

The FCP sale just doubled in value. Their Spring sale transitioned into a Summer sale, seemingly with no break in between. It's now a tiered discount of up to 10% off when you keep your order close to the tier thresholds. Get $20 off $200+, $50 off $500+, $100 off $1000+ using code SUMMERFIX. Now I'...

Blipshift is currently offering a Volvo t-shirt until the end of the day. They're also offering some generic car enthusiast shirts including my favorite fuel gauge defying "Challenge Accepted". Check them out.

Re: Fix or Scrap?

A similar accident happened to me. Local body shops said the rear right frame rail was compromised, meaning that even if it was fixed, it would need a salvage title and an inspection by state police before it could legally be driven again. See page 2 for the frame pics. I really tried to get it fixe...
