What did you do to your Volvo today? Topic is solved

[matthew1]

Western states are so cute, when do you think you will get some people?

What do you mean?! Wyoming just hit 100!

Must be a slow day at Devil's Tower National Monument! June

You must have seen this on MVS FB?

Actually we were there summer of 2009 during a summer vacation trip. My daughter loved the field of little critters popping their heads up and communicating with each other. It was all I could do to keep her from trying to get one . June

Yesterday -
Loaded it up on a roll back with a new engine.
Headed off to the shop to have a transplant as well as a bunch of other stuff done to it.
Can honestly say im looking forward to driving it again with everything working as it should.
Have work to do to it once I get it back but thats mostly cosmetic and a few more performance items before I call it quits on it.



Been daily driving a 2018 S60 for the last few months while the S70 sat in the garage.

Wow, that Volvo really looks amazing!

<3 Thank you
It's been garaged for the last 8 months now, and im not sure how such an old car maintains such a beautiful coat of paint for 21 years, 8 of them have been outside in the FL sun.
It's about time for an exterior upgrade or two as well.

Good to see you post, Rob!

<3 Good to see the forum thriving and busy as always.
VS seems to have died so I guess ill be hanging around here more often again.

I need to do a headliner in the S70, so its about time to refresh the headliner DIY I imagine (been what 8 years now since I wrote that LOL)

The people who bought these cars new in 199x paid good money for a high end finish job - God Bless them for doing this.



Stopped in Western MASS to visit a C54 Memorial site for three Airmen who lost their lives in 1948 in a plane crash - out in the sticks of MA.

put a new intercooler hose on my 94 T5M (huge difference) and started pulling the radiator on my 96 R. This is my third 850 radiator job in 3 years. Next year I'm going pro I kinda knew I had it coming because it was the original one. But better now than in 2 months when you get frostbites doing a radiator job.

So, today I tried out a new wax I bought from Autoglym. My friends are more fond of the Meguiars stuff, but I like to experiment. See the pictures below. The product I used was the Autoglyms Aqua Liquid wax. It's really easy to put on and to wax out. See for yourself! Question... my bonnet and roof of the car feel kinda "sandpaper like". It's really contaminated. What should I use: a polish, compound or a clay block?

Clay block

[bmdubya1198]

Definitely start with clay. If you have scratches as well, use a polish or compound after clay. Be sure to apply a fresh coat of wax after everything!

13 May
A USAF Douglas C-54 Skymaster, making an instrument approach in a driving rainstorm to Northampton, Massachusetts, impacts the soggy ground so hard that it gouges an eight-foot crater, explodes and burns, spreading wreckage over a five acre area. All three crew are killed. Air Transport Command identified the victims, all married, as: Capt. Paul Longuich, 40, Yonkers, New York; 1st Lt. Wilfred W. Lavinder, 23, Portsmouth, Ohio; and Staff Sgt. Jack Zaresky, 26, Jackson Heights, New York.[443]
