Risks of not replacing a failing AC compressor?

Hey folks! I am the mostly happy owner of a 2008 XC70. It has gotten me through two unpredictable winters better than I could have imagined! But it is in need of a new AC compressor, or so I am told by my mechanic. The AC blows cold enough, but its motor makes quite a racket. I'll be taking a pretty...

Re: Seeking help with sagging 240 wagon roof

You've done a nice job with your structural columns! Looks like building restoration! Haha thanks, yeah I thought the same after I took the photos! I think they’re working - I just want to restore some of the bend, as they kinda straightened out a little. Not going to re-adhere them to the roof tho...

Floor pans: New vs. salvaged

Hello everybody! I am the proud owner of a 1990 240 DL wagon that my wife and I got brand new as a wedding present. 30+ years and quite a bit of rust later, we are in need of a replacement floor pan. It's an expensive prospect, but even at $2000 for labor, it's worth it to keep our baby aloft. I hav...
