I'm conscious there aren't many pics of shiny Volvo's here thus far, but the key for me has always been to make sure a car's mechanically sound before bothering with cosmetics- That's the way forward.
Apologies everyone!
Shortly after the last thrilling instalment, the car had an MOT- The only advisory being an inballance on the handbrake (On a P2 Volvo- Shock!)
The brakes were stripped down (Again) They had already had the old fashioned adjusters fitted...
Whilst in there, daft not to grasp the opportunity to fit new shoes, therefore avoiding delamination and the hub(s) being destroyed. Again, not genuine Volvo parts but good aftermarket. Nothing wrong with the old ones IMO, but at £15 it was foolish not to- cheap insurance....
Around this time a scrap car turned up locally, it was the exact same model (140ps manual 2001)...
The ETM was grabbed. Not too hard to remove (Once the starter motor had been knocked out) Technically these need coding, and also this one might be already goosed... But for the sake of £10 it was grabbed/cleaned and boxed up as a 'just in case' on the basis of there not being much to loose...
