What did you do to your Volvo today? Topic is solved

[abscate]

Wes happens if you put the wrong spin on each side? Does time go backwards?

Columba, the curvier one. One of my favorite wheels.

I think it must pull sideways and it won’t stay in its lane…….
(depending on prop speed)

I’ve never needed to do this, but in hindsight, you ship the tires to a Tire Rack authorized installer, they mount and balance at a “normal” rate, and it’s the same as going to Gary’s Conoco.

I put the oil cooler cover plate on, drained the coolant to refresh, replaced two old hoses.

Those silicone hoses are fat, hard to get inside the clamps, and hard to slide over the barb. But good and snug when they’re done.

Think of how nice those would look with oetikers……

Oetikers Rex?

Way before there were hose clamps

Bumper is back on the car. I did not reinstall the bracket, don't feel like they are needed.



I scuffed the mud shields with scotch brite and then a silicone free plastic restorer.



I still got this one, perhaps it was dumb of me to put the side skirts back on


I cleared out the blocked washer hose for the rear windows too using compressed air. I've washed and washed the car since and I had to resort to claybar to get it feeling smooth to the touch. I think it's about ready for polishing with meguiars 105 / 205.

I do think I will want to repaint all the doors below trim level on this car. But the hatch and earlier rusty area are higher priorities.

^ Nicely done ! Good color match.

I finished restoring a set of Perfos that were sitting in my shed for many years. They had quite a bit of curb rash and there was only so much I could do to try and improve the looks of that. Other than that I think they came out ok.

Finally got a closer look at the Silver Bullet in my parents’ driveway and found that the coolant leak was coming from the coolant temperature sensor not being sufficiently tightened. Now I have my next project for when the third kid tries out for the swim team and I need a seven-seater.

Incidentally, does anyone happen to know the headliner size for a V70?

Had to search for your last post Bruno.

Let it be known that in my parts stash I have a 2000 NA cylinder head removed amd safely stored just 2 hours east. That’s the uber rare 2000 NA with VVt intake which is a one year, one model only head. When you burn a valve you will appreciate being able to rework the spare head and do the job same day. You know where I live.
