The '98 S70 is where I got the N/A manifold for my 3" upgrade. Also the throttle body from that S90. I might stop out again this weekend.
I will let you know what's new.
I figured that was you when I saw the car. Let me know what is there, I'm hoping they got some new cars in the rotation. They didn't change the import section much over the winter.

We were there a month ago, he had even more cars than before. The odd thing is all of them had Pennsylvania plates on them.

I might go Sunday. I also may have a couple arms in storage, but it may just be easier to grab another while I am out there. It will likely take less time.(to find)

I know they are a bit shorter than 850, so I really have no use for them anyway. I seem to be hoarding.

Went yesterday, all those other cars are gone. there is one dark blue, '98 V70 with massive front end damage, and a beige interior. So sorry Steve, no help this time, but I will look in my storage unit for the wiper arm for you.

I did grab the drivers seat for myself because it is powered, heated, and has no rips.

I'll probably go again next week because there was one row left empty still in the import section.

Oddly, I would imagine Texas to be the place for cars to go to die.

Aren't there three or four new reality shows based in Texas? About cars? Junk yards, and refurbishing?

I know it is a huge piece of land, and people don't really keep In touch. I can imagine spending more money in gas, than the actual part you might be looking for.

I recon(?) this is the community, here where you might be of help to another of the same interest.

These Volvo cars do seem to show up here in the local junk yards. Feel free to inquire anytime. You may have to pay shipping for heavy things. Otherwise, my pleasure if it is not a valuable piece. (to me I guess. I am a known hoarder of parts)

PM anytime.

Edit: This was edited since the original post time earlier today. It was a nice day and I did not complete the text as I would have liked. (sun bathing)

Now....you may be inclined to ask him about his collection of cars. Don't do it, as a matter of fact ask the guys at the salvage yard about him. I did and they told me that he's nuts. Since I work with mentally ill people for a living I figured I wouldn't have any problem with him. I was wrong, we got out of there pretty quick.
Im finally out. It was nice meeting you Matty.
