The cover is coming off this week, although the Michigan temperature is being fickle, I am not afraid.
New photos tomorrow.

Getting ready to do some metal stretching.

This car really does have very low miles. They were not of the smart type. Miles.

It will be done.

Coming to its new address next week to be put back in shape.

I've been at the new address since the summer but am allowed a limited amount of parking space.

I have also since picked up another Wagon. A '94 black wagon, N/A that needs an axle, and the same attention I have given my other rescues.

So the two black ones are in storage for the winter, while I have all the white ones at the new residence. I will get the '98 XC in shape on weather permitting days over the winter.
The Black ones will sit for the winter in storage.

The T-5R was driven to storage. It drives straight, regardless of the damage. Quick as well with the modifications done by the previous owner.

Just read through your thread. Good stuff in here. I am extremely curios about that little manual you had imported. I have a 1996 wagon with some body damage and I would love to get accurate factory measurements. Do you know if there is a wagon version of that manual? I suppose my alternative would be a haynes manual but I have never looked at one for a volvo, do you know how this manual compares to a haynes manual?
