Many parts are NLA.

I've had occasional luck with Genuine Classic Parts (in Sweden). https://www.gcp.se/en

Otherwise, it's been eBay, and/or JB Weld (for plastic).

Erie Vovo might even have one in the correct color. Fuel doors are available (used) on eBay. If you watch long enough, one in the correct color should show up - or you could just paint one with a rattle can. Aftermarket plastic hinges (the plastic hinges often break if you live in a place that doesn...

It's been a few years since I looked, but IIRC the front seat has two carpets and the rear seat has one carpet. With the console out, it should be only a short distance to fish from under the rear carpet to under the rear seat. I did not do this on the Volvo, but I did fish a wire from front to rear...

I took off my snow tires (last week? time is meaningless) and found that one of my all-season tires had developed dimples on its sidewall. It’s toast, right? I'm no expert, but here's what the experts say about sidewall indentations: https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/techpage.jsp?techid=32 Sc...

I wrote this up in June 2019, on the What Did You Do To Your Volvo Today thread. https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=78410&p=510398#p510398 My wagon has never been garaged, and 21+ years of weather has taken its toll on the roof moldings, which were peeling. My wagon...

...My tires are standard 205/50/16, and the speedometer/odometer/cruise control are working fine apart this 15%... What was the year when Volvo switched to 205/55/16 because of customer's complaints about bent rims? I think it was with introduction of s,v,c,xc70 models in '97(EU) and '98 for U.S ma...

Drove it to the moon (finally)!

Supermoon Perigee 221,524 miles

(November 14, 2016, closest since January 26, 1948. Okay, I was a little late - but I got it there!)

The engine, transmission, clutch and turbo are all original.

I'm not sure that everything that's bolted to the engine, transmission, clutch and turbo has been replaced at least once, but I have two file boxes overflowing with receipts and invoices, so it seems almost like that.

Has anyone found a source for replacement cloth seat covers, or the material? Replacement upholstery is mostly NLA from Volvo and unfortunately the p80 cloth seat covers don't seem to have been nearly as durable as the cloth seats in Volvos of yore. I've had my driver's seat rebuilt several times an...

Based on many times my driver's seat has been apart over the years, my '98 V70 has 850-style mechanical detonators (and the red safety gizmo) that look just like the ones in this thread:
