94 850 GLT sedan 215,000

Forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead. I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ.

I'm sure there is plenty of DIY help on this site if your so inclined. Seems like an awful lot of work for the shop and bucks $$$ for you. Can't imagine what something like that would cost. Parts alone?

I did how-to walk throughs for all of this stuff with pictures and posted them in the FWD section on Volvolution.com. You should just order the parts and do the work yourself. It will only take a few hours and save you a bundle.
