Volvo used on P2 a high quality metal alloys for most hardware , reason why many bolts are so easy to remove. There are still a few ugly ones, but overall this is indeed a very easy vehicle to work on for 80% of the items. Makes me remember of a Vw and Honda I had, in comparison that was epic work on those cars (not in a good way).
