I shudder to think what shipping would be, but I would love those front door inner panels. Any chance shipping is free to 29414 :D

I can certainly look into it. Shipping could be free for the right price😄

Why it blew a headgasket?
Water pump,some of the hoses...why it overheated?
Floor carpets looks like it blew a heater core.

It was definitely the hg. I bought it knowing it was the hg. But I have determined I have enough projects on hand.

Well I’d be curious to know if you feel like going to the work of measuring and the details of figuring out shipping. If not I understand. Around here there aren’t many decent parts cars let alone nice door cards.

How much for that immaculate steering wheel?

It looks like it should fit a '99 V70. Can anyone confirm?
Wisdom requires knowledge as a prerequisite, but knowledge can be developed due to a lack of wisdom.
In order to learn how to fix something, you must first learn how to break it.

I have a 99R wheel in my 98 base so, yeah it fits
Current Volvos:
1998 V70 T5, 112k sat 5 years, still in mechanical coma (finally at the top of the pile )
2004 XC90 T6 AWD: 186k, 60 on transaxle ( traded in )
1998 POS70 N/A: DD/training aid, 236k but really about 240k, I think...ABS module( passed on to son who sold it)

Shouldn’t be too bad via UPS ground

I just shipped 2200 pounds from AUSTRIA to NYC for under 3 bucks per pound, in 2 days, point to point
