Performed a bunch of preemptive maintenance today:

Front and rear brakes
-Lines
-Calipers, rebuild
-Pads
-Master brake cylinder

All new suspension bushings

Rack and pinion

Steering pump

Fuel filter

Misc hoses,lines.

Welded the bumper bracket/rad support

 

Time to get it out of the nosebleed section now.

 

That's the plan,but I might wait until after winter. NY winters suck. I might just cut some springs in the meantime because I'm tired of staring SUV owners in the face

Still trying to decide on a set of wheels.

 

Work Meister CR01's

Or

Epsilon Southern Ways

I wonder how available they are in 5x108

 

Love this!

 

nice car...its strangely appealing...

 

my buddy has the same car. the main problem he had ran into is faulty electronics. just try to keep everything as intact as possible. but man it will be cool when you are done. looking forwards to it!

 

Finally got Vivian back and it feels way more solid with the brembos and redone breaking system.
TBH, I wish it was a manual,but this thing is just so fun regardless. It's not fast in any sense of the word,but I was driving around the adirondacks today and it was holding its own,definitely has a different feeling than the Z. I can't help,but smile when my little 79 wagon trudges past a modern day car.

With that said it has me looking at upgrading the cam,going catless and a straight pipe

 

16v, webers, and T5 swapped..

 

I've always loved these Volvos, please do justice to this car!
