I had a chance to get a few shots this morning of my work in progress. I have'nt done the struts or the bodywork yet, but I think that can wait for spring. There are a few dings and dents, but nothing unbearable for now. I still need the rear glass, as it was damaged as a result of a BB gun fight from the original owners kids. Updates to come.

Here's my 1993 940 Turbo and 1992 240 Wagon. I've also owned a 2004 XC70 for about 5 years and another 1994 940 Turbo. This 940 has only about 145,000 miles and had one previous owner. I've owned it for 2 years and it's immaculate; I love this car. The 240 has 215,000 miles and is also a solid car. I just ordered all bushings, rods, links, and shocks and I'll get coil springs, struts, mounts next month. This car has all original suspension; it rides surprising well but needs a little butt lift. Next weekend will be fun.

The cd player continued to cycle through the discs in the cartridge without ever playing one, so I sacrificed the 3 cd cartridge as a dock for my Droid with over 1700 songs on it...

Door locks & licence plate trim(trunk door trim)were left on purpose,because they will be done in chrome flash.

That is a beautiful color. I even like the wheels...and normally I hate aftermarket ones put on Volvos! Very nice :D
