started DIY on my 2001 volvo s80 2.9

I found that DIY stuff on s80 2.9 is very scarce and I started posting my pictures on facebook for people to view it or ask questions.

I bought this car really cheap with lots of issues.

both front windows broke, the regulators were bent and sliders were broken.
rear oxygen sensor doesn't work and throws a code.
brake pedal position doesn't work and throws a code.
blower motor doesn't work.
oil leaks on the engine bay, clogged pcv hoses, worn oil filler gasket and rear cam seal leak (got pushed out)
cracked seats
glove box broken handle/lock
power steering pump leak
exterior rubber trims deteriorated

car runs fine now with no check engine lights.

Removing that bracket from the left side of the starter makes servicing both starter and ETM a lot easier in future.

Volvo deleted it in 2002

that's a facebook page and it's very specific to just volvo only (no personal stuff) Reason is that it's easy to host images without being blocked (or get lost) just like what happened to photobucket and some other photo hosting services.

There were so many good contents in the forums that got screwed by these photo hosting companies.

Understandable. I have been using Flickr.com for many years now
