Drivers side seat belt latch
Extras:
I've got an IPD tailgate panel repair kit that hasn't been installed. Some of the trunk interior pieces were removed to replace the latch and I just left them off. Both the pieces and the repair kit will be included, but probably not installed.
I have a new front passenger side fender liner to replace the one that was damaged when the control arm broke. That will be included as well.
The bad:
Exhaust has a rattle coming from inside the muffler. It's been there since I bought it. I mostly only notice it when the exhaust is cold. I never thought it was worth fixing.
Drivers side door switch is getting sketchy. Sometimes you have to shut the door twice to activate the switch that shuts off dome light, dinger, etc.
Drivers seat has a small section where the stitching on the leather is coming apart.
Drivers seat adjustment seat is sketchy. Sometimes you have to push it forward/back 3 or 4 times before it engages.
Center console lid is slightly damaged. Still closes, but you have to push it a little to the side to get it to latch.
Drivers side headlight wiper will sometimes not reset. It fixes itself randomly after a couple starts of the car.
Driveshaft was removed by previous owner, so no AWD. On the plus side, mileage is pretty good. About 20 in the city.
It does leave a few drips of oil on the garage floor, but nothing major.
Misc:
It's been my daily since I bought it and, while it's had all the typical Volvo issues, it's been pretty reliable. It's never left me stranded and has completed multiple trips from Austin to Dallas/Houston/Tyler/etc without issue.
I'm sure there are other parts that have been replaced and I'll update the above list as I sort through email/invoices from IPD, etc.
Disclaimer: These pics are from when I bought it. Nothing has changed and new pics will be posted upon request or when it heads to CL.
