And if you keep brake pedal pushed you need just pump that front until you get just fluid out of it again so air doesn't go back in line. No need all car airing (in my case didn't and didn't need add even fluid due last time i put slightly extra it seems.). The rear pipe nut to hose was tight and need good tools to get hold of as its so easy to round that thing.

Somewhere on the carribean island of St Kitts there is a 96 4runner driving around with a 9mm 12pt box end wrench hammer pressed to a brake bleeder screw. I never could get it back off but it made future brake bleeding really easy.

Holy Sawdust ! Did you hit Lotto or something ? (Unless you bought the entire cut list back then.)
And: Just a reminder, you have kids in college !
I just spent a small fortune on 2 x 8s for shelving to get parts off the floor. Seriously cut into the beer budget.

I am happy to report I have completed my 48 semesters of college payments, 50 including graduate school. I can’t complain as everyone carried > 80% of the load on merit , so I paid less than a lot of my peers with fewer college units. Only one of them had to settle for a second rate school like Cornell, my Alma Mater

Rolled the E83 through CT , obligatory Volvo content included, some obvious, one for the true Volvo historian

Congratulations. I will probably be paying mine well after my future kids see their own children applying for college. Fun times.

I've been working very hard to get needed maintenance done on my new 98 s GT. I'll call it my GT. Please refer to my thread on the main p80 forum for the list of maintenance.

Wow, you have been very busy!
I hope the GT rewards you for all your effort.

SKF Specialty Balls... I bet that sign gets a lot of laughs.

Is that a vintage long-shaft Elgin on the first tu...er, Dink ?

Congratulations, both to you and Progeny, well done all. No wonder you always sport a big smile in the portraits.
Looks like you're doing some travelling now - even though the Volvo fleet seems to be left out of this adventure.
