On Monday (Sept 30, 2019) I FINALLY bought the car I wanted, 1998 v70 xc, black, ugly hood, 144k miles.
1. Yesterday, I stripped out the headliner (cloth came halfway off on hwy, I stripped the rest off at travel plaza) and almost all the interior. Got the carpet vacuumed.
2. Today I personally shampooed the carpet and rugs with non-concentrate Dawn, a $1 scrub brush, and a wet/dry shop-vac.
3. I am about to clean up the dashboard and the entire middle console, reinstall the mc.
Tomorrow, my car is getting an oil change. I will be getting a new oil dipstick in the mail and then an STP oil filter (AutoZone) and a couple jugs of Mobile 1 5W-30 full synthetic oil (Walmart). I have lots more to post from now til before Thanksgiving.
Did you know? 🤔

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?
Nice find! I've wanted an XC for a while, but I just don't have any more space for another car.
...that said, if all goes well today and the '01 is sold, I'll probably have another Volvo by Monday lol.

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?
Was really hoping there was a ‘is’ under that price sticker. Wife didn’t think joke was funny , even after explanation of what a Polestar was.

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?
I finally found what's been causing my front brake to stick shut. The car has been sitting for a year because I haven't had time to work on this problem. With this tackled, I can go figure out why the rear calipers are stuck open, then finish overhauling the entire braking system. Then I'll finally get my car through state inspection, a year and a half late.
