Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

Spent 2 hours cleaning, for 10 minutes worth of painting. All for something that really won't be seen. Not sure that this is a curable condition.

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

Curious about that brace under the car. Is that one from a C70? Never seen one but have only heard of them! Neil. There's a C70 brace at the front (that really firmed up the front end) as well as an Ultra Racing brace more rearward (that does nothing except scrape on speed bumps and add weight). Th...

Re: Power steering rack brand opinions and experiences

This is a great idea. Thanks for the bit of research you did on finding all these.
