If you look for my recent thread on my new Project a 2000 model V70 NA (base model no-turbo) it has amazed me how quickly this can happen. A car that ran and was being used (we have no inspection rules here or emission rules), that turned out be be down-right dangerous with many bodges by previous owner and 'repair' shops who clearly can not be licensed, has got me a car with many, many issues that took me mostly 8 months on a 2 month project line I had hoped for. PnP has saved me many times, particularly on things like broken trim, lights, seats and many other items.

So be ready, as PnP will become your friend very quickly!

It is also a great place to go to figure out how things work and fit together without breaking your own first. Not that I recommend anyone go out and intentionally wreck these valuable resources, but it does help.

Once you get the chassis # and colour code I will be checking back to see what you find and will then try to get you the correct part numbers where that info is required.

Good Luck!

Neil.
Hey Neil,

Thanks for your help! It has allowed me to do a lot of work on my car, and that is invaluable. Saved me a lot of money too! But I think I will be selling my car now, it has become too much of a hassle and too expensive to replace all the worn down parts...This car needs somebody who has the time and effort to love and take care of it like it deserves. I part sadly with it, knowing that it is an amazing and reliable car that has served me well over the time that I have owned it. Goodbye, my dear...
