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


On my way back from the automotive bulb supplier specialist, it meant I had to drive back near the junkyards I go to. There was a 08 S60 just in so I had taken tools to scavenge a few parts, including the inner door panel clips. I had planned to go to another yard with an 05 S60 that was fairly ...
