Installed this funky little drink holder I got at the boneyard yesterday for 3 bucks. It replaces the useless storage nook that previously occupied that space.

I took a break from a Volvo repair to celebrate the best thing that ever happened in my life 33 years ago.

swapped the light glass from some depot replacement to an oem volvo lense. The difference was very noticeable in terms of how far the light throws and what colour it looks like with HID's. Might post a before an after comparison.

Pulled a delta link assembly out of a junkyard because I broke one of the shock studs and stripped the other. Gonna put new endlinks on it and swap in my new trailing arm bushings

Edit: I didn't have the official tool, but even still I can't imagine how people do this job with the trailing arms in the car..

I didn't even know that P2 cup holder was an option. Seems standard over here, never not seen it!

Oh, and congratulations Abscate!
