Congratulations To you and your Hockey team, Xyna!

Burned off the exhaust bolts and have the engine and M56 loose to pull out. Used a special blind corner a Dremel disk

Ran out of time looking for all the shrubbery puller engine picker parts, have to roll to Long Island tomorrow to beat the snow

Spotted an S70 in a nice blue…colour code?
Thanks!

My previous Volvo was an S70, with that exact same color I believe.

What are you doing up at this hour? I was up at 3 and I’m killing time in the Baltimore aerodrome. Lovely week in Charm City.

New-to-me (donated) V70 drivers side window was inop.; swapped the switch pack for a known good unit, still no joy. Dreaded the idea of pulling a 24 year old door card. Got out a better light, started the process...
