I know what you mean. Mine has an annoying little hole in front wing. I've got 2 new ones but decided I'm going to get all mechanical stuff sorted first. I've now owned her for four months and still haven't got anywhere near the bodywork

Now you're just being plain fussy!

Joking aside, it's nice to see you're being fussy about the little things - it shows you're going to look after the old beast!

Welcome to the world of classic Volvo neuroticism!

I'm FOREVER chasing this sort of thing on my cars. There's always something, somewhere, somehow that needs some finessing or caressing or removing, binning and replacing!

It's all part of the joy, though...I love seeing and feeling the incremental improvements.

I've just changed the torque arm bushes on my 240 estate and am having radial arm bushes fitted next week, the TABs have improved the feel of the car immensely (the old ones were almost non existent!) And I know the RABs will have a similar effect.

I have huge affection for these cars and am really pleased that you're giving yours the same attention to detail as many of us here do!
