Unfortunately the R was too far gone for me to continue the project. The transmission was indeed shot. I have decided to part her out and will list what I have available in the next week or so.

Oh no, what a shame.

Get a used trans in for $500 and you have a great car.

Parting these out I see tough love, you have to make money $5 at a time with free shipping.

Not really, I just sold the Volans locally for more than I bought the car for.

Here is the link to my CL ad for the parts. Mods, if this is not allowed I'll remove...

I'm located in Abbotsford, BC. The border crossing at Sumas, WA is 5 minutes from my house for any interested US buyers.

350,000 miles? If you're not a mechanic.
Get ready to pay an arm a leg maybe the other leg ...a second mortgage and your first born.... in my opinion.... unless you got it for 400$ or something... just walk away Renee!!!

Yeah... I hear you Tony d ... just trying to save you from financial suicide... I had a 850 R wagon a few years ago... hard to find a good Volvo R anything that hasn't been used and abused. I'm sure another one will come up. Good hunting....
