And now being in America, you can avail of IPD and their Volvo bits, sway bars etc, without horrendous shipping.

Exactly,that and Dave Barton's site, it really needs a new wiring loom for engine bay ! Worse than Mercedes bio degrading types!

Such a cool car. Congrats.

Thanks man, I'm made up just having it sit there, I can't imagine how much fun it'll be once driving !

More testing of the electrical system, the lights and indicators, wipers, fan and all interior bits do work which is grand. The Engine wiring harness is shagged so can't really progress without one of those.

when a nice set of mesh alloys in 5x112 pattern show up ( that'll fit the benz) for $150 it'd be rude not to , I'll need adapters but they look good !

Great find ADM. I’m sure it will fill any spare time you may have!
