Installed Philips X-treme +130 bulbs in my 98 S70. Managed to break the drivers side turn signal tabs. Got new assemblies ordered. Figure do both sides.

Ugh..I have that. The hotter the dash gets with the heater on, the more it squeaks.

Broke mine awhile back going over a cattle guard at sloooow speed. I am waiting till I have multiple things to do in the dash before I take it out, so I am using one of these "wind bags" or "air shim" till then. In my case it has worked surprisingly well. Don't see or feel it while driving.

Would the new “Bondic” plastic glue pens work for this? I just fixed three pairs of broken reading glasses. It’s a thick liquid you apply with a narrow tip, then you zap it with the blue UV light pen to harden it like epoxy in a few seconds. It came from dental filling technology.

Not sure what it’s structural properties are.

Deskinned two nice C70 seats for Evita

C70 have mechanical sips in 1999 and the seat leather upper is bayonet mounted at bottom va hog rings

Had to replace the clutch hydraulic line, part 9181324 The old one had a single leak so I epoxied it while waiting for the new one to arrive. Well, that didn't work because it then sprouted 3 more leaks.

So we start taking the new line apart to ease installation. When removing this portion of the "easy disconnect/bleeder" from the car rotate clockwise 180 degrees to access the clip & remove it. Then give her a manly tug.

The actual line assembly has a bit of an origami/Tetris theme when trying to get it back into the airbox mount.

Then bleed the line. I regretfully admit that I didn't do it properly and will be doing so again in the coming week if all goes well. Just had to get the car back on the road before the incoming snow storm.

Working on getting my new project 850 back together. Getting there. Lot of work over the last month! Doing suspension stuff the next few days as I wait for a new cam sensor to be able to start her up for the first time since I got it.

: Before

: Replaced just a couple parts

: After

Oh yeah, that looks MUCH better!

That clutch line makes me glad I live in NC... I have an original one from a '96 850 in my R and it looks practically brand new still
