Re: What did you do to your P2 Volvo today?

I always feel like the thing you need to expand is the nut - you want something to expand to allow the PB Blaster to suck into the gaps. But in jonesg's case, if the rust is locking up the threads, I'm wondering if a thread chaser may help, but how would it fit in tight quarters? torch would have b...

Re: Parts failure poll: P2 Volvos: V70/S60/XC70 from 2001-2007

There are so many takeaways from this poll's data it's hard to organize my thoughts and write them all down, but I think my #1 takeaway is this: cars are heinously complex machines.

Re: Any experience with this aftermarket IPD headlight?

I would stick with the OEM Valeo headlights, find a good set on Ebay or elsewhere from somewhere they don't use gravel on the roads which cause the glass headlights to pit. My concern on aftermarket glass headlights from Tiawan would be glass thickness and plastic quality, plus $182 is not an inexpe...

Re: I guess I’m going to call him “Leo”

Headliners are difficult! That looks good! Thanks! It wasn’t too bad. The hardest part was getting it started and positioning the bows. Once that was done, it went pretty smooth. Mind you, I wasn’t shooting for perfection and getting every single wrinkle out. I’ve learned with this car I have come ...

Re: Non-Volvo car chat megathread

David Reamer (@ANC_Historian) posted this photo on "X". Anchorage 1977, and I remember seeing this car back then. Appears to be a mid-60's Dart wagon.

Re: Let's play Name That Car

Does anyone know their 60’s Corvette trims to figure out abscate’s year? I don’t, but I think those turbine wheels might make it a ‘67…..? And way less of the frilly chrome trim, except for the rockers. I’ve always liked a dark blue or black Stingray roadster, but without the heavy big block and si...

Re: New MVS t-shirts and hoodies!

T-shirt $25 Pullover hoodie $40 Orders open Monday morning. I'll leave the order window open for ten days instead of just a week. Design is slightly different, ignoring the obvious viking/moose reverse. The t-shirt has slight detail on the rider and his axe. Not responsible for adoring fans chasing ...

Re: S70 ran out of oil :(

Damn ! Hate to say it, but that gold color material is probably bearings. It must have been driven a bit without oil.
Junkyard engine would not be too much $$$.

Re: Volvo wants out of Polestar

Trying to operate EV's of the 21st century, off of a grid that still relies on stringing wires from wooden pole to wooden pole a-la 19th century, seems like a fools errand. Couple that with only a couple of battery recycling plants in the country, and it does seem like we're getting a little too far...
