CharlyW,
Love that wagon and those wheels. Funny to see fuse box and brake reservoir/controls on the opposite side. Is that coolant reservoir cap the one everyone says to throw in a bin? The replacement cap is a light green.

I'M BACK! Haha, hey guys, sorry for my month long absence, I have been slammed lately with school and trying to find a job now that I have been laid off. LaME!
Anyways.. some major updates to the car...
Ozark, you may remember my check engine light? hehehe I fixed the vacuum leak today, hoses were unplugged under my throttle, Once they were plugged back in with the help of a dear friend, my check engine light has been off, and my car now has mooo powa!

Anyways, Sense I have last been here..
I have
Bought new wheels
Fixed vacuum leak
Found radiator leak
Installed sidemarkers
Made the engine bay very nice
Color swapped my interior
Added led lights *professionally this time*
Plastidipped my grille
Installed new dash trim kit
And a few other things.

Need a pcv job done, as you can see in my engine bay photo.. the oil around the pcv hose.
But she is finally getting there.

Things that are going to be done once I get a job.
Pcv job
New timing belt
Waterpump
tires for the new wheels so I can mount
IPD springs
replacing shift knob with one I currently have to match my interior color *black*
Full paint job... paint strip and redone, so like a 8k paint job... ouch big hit in the pocket.
but as most know, the black was done in a one stage, which means clearcoat and paint at the same time, so when the florida sun cracks it, you cant just buff it out.

and then she shall be perfect

Anyways, here are a few photos from the new car look.
SORRY FOR THE PHOTO BOMB BELOW...

Thats the original UK Spec Volvo coolant cap still seals nicely cant see the point of replacing it if its not broke. I've got a spare pair of the same wheels that im trying to get shot of

My '89 764 ti got her with 96k she had 64k put on her her first 7 years and only 33k the next 13 years. I put evans coolant, ipd front strut bushing, poly, $20 homemade chassis tie down bar, green diamond icelander model rear tires, rep;aced front brakes with oem brembo's from fcp groton with pbr semi-metal pads. i plan on polyurethane end links for my sway bars and eventually bilstein hd shocks all the way around. put in new cd player and smoked windows, right now in shop getting head resurfaced and new gasket due to heat failure that warped head prior to my purchase--it went 5 months and 11k with no pressure in cylinder 2 before valve finally popped and engine barely idled. i found wastegate valve only had one screw holding it down, and gave it tune up and put slick 50 in which took out turbo whine completley. i luv her and plan on driving her until i give out.
