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

Decided to tackle the numerous interior noises: first step, the cargo area. The cracked speaker trim has been reglued and i've given a go at 3d printing new clips to replace the broken ones that hold the upper trim

At this price i can waste some plastic prototyping !

Will add them to the 3d prints topic once tested

Drove the P2 back from EWR to cap off an 8 day overseas trip, traffic was NY ish so the Kat with her slush box would have been nicer,but the P2 AC was blowing ice cubes

Two duty free bottles of Glenfiddich 18 safely in my suitcase, too

Today was a visit to the Ayr Vintage Rally, lots of tractors and farm implements, lawnmower racing, collie dogs and farmers.

Great looking 850, as always. Looks like a nice Escort parked right next to you as well.

Can there be such a thing as a nice Escort?

Here it is, tidy enough but I'll stick with my old Volvo

Every time we came back from a War Patrol for R&R we could bring five fifths ( remember them ?) duty free. The Navy PX had convenient cardboard carriers to make it easy as a carry-on for our nine hour plane ride from Guam to Hawaii. I usually bought Chivas Royal Salute 21 year old. They were $4.75 each.

Still can't be outside long, even though it's finally dipped (barely) below 90, so it has come down to this:

Wrong fabric ( it stinks ), wrong glue ( it didn't stick ), and the car needs a sunroof cassette ( still in Olde Blue, see "90", above.)
{To clarify, the car came to me with this Indignity installed - along with flat-white wrapping}

Absolutely, especially if it's a RS2000. They were around when I was still driving my Capri MKIII in Germany.

I still own that one, plus a few old Volvo's

Way cooler than the escort we got in the states.

Escorts overseas are cheaper up front, but then…..oh wait, never mind, off topic

Carry on.
