Greetings Y'all. I have had problems with either stones or in one case, a kid with a BB gun causing chips in my headlight lenses. Does anyone have a way to fix these? it is about a 1/16" hole with a bit of spiderweb of cracks around it. I was thinking about using the UV setting resin used for ...

One note, the 850s and early 70 series had a squared off attachment point for the shift knob and the leather cover. The later 70 series had a round collar where they lock into the handle. If you are changing both, it’s not a problem, but if you are getting a round shift knob, the leather won’t ...

The manual knobs come off the same way. The boot comes out because it has a square shaped círclip type holder inside the leather skirt. Put something non marring between the skirt and the center console and pop it through carefully.

Oh goodness that’s right. I have a whopper of a credit for them right now. I didn’t think about that. Thanks again Doc!

I have a sunroof that doesn’t like to close all the way, and when it does, I can’t seem to close the sunshade hatch completely. I already and going to be removing the headliner to replace it, as it when from sag to full privacy curtain mode.
Is there a /pretty/ way of removing the sunroof? I don’t ...

If you have the Nivomats, you can get adaptors that met you put regular struts in the rear instead of FCP or IPD replacements. I did that for my 99 V70. I pulled springs from a non nivomat wagon at the JY and used the T-bar adaptors for bolstering rears. I got mine from summit racing.

No check engine light permitted by PA inspections. I am already resigned to swap the entire harness and dash assemblies. I had planned on dropping the whole subframe and working from there. I have to remove the dash and the bezel on the NA car to replace parts, so no sense in doing a half assed job.

I know it is a huge job. But I already have to remove all of that, so it doesn't matter the slightest. The joys of repainting...

Greetings Y'all.
Putting the synopsis at the start for those who don't want to read too much. I own a happy 99 V70 NA manual and an unhappy 99 V70R. Should I power train swap the v70R into the NA body, and if so, how fully?


As you may know or recall, I have a 1999 V70 NA with the M56 manual ...
