Talking New guy here!

Hello everyone. I just recently bought a 1991 940 turbo, which is my first Volvo. I got a AMAZING deal on it, and it's been a AMAZING car so far. I have pictures uploaded of it in my garage? (still new here)

I have a 8 month pregnant wife and we needed a 4 door reliable car BAD. I had a 1995 Tercel before, which the engine gave out about 2 months ago.

So far, as soon as I got the car, I did full tune up. It runs really well for having 270k on it. The turbo is something I haven't experienced before and well... lol it's quite fun. 10 times more ***** than my Tercel had.

Anyways, hello everyone and I look forward to getting to know you guys

Thank you! It was previously owned by a fireman and was very well taken care of. I have all service records all the way back from when the car was first purchased from the Volvo dealer.

The front leather seats are a bit worn, as to be expected, but other than that, it's in great condition. Not one tiny hint of rust or dents anywhere.

Me and the wife just took it for a nice long ride out on the highway and wow, it was fun. I didn't expect the car to handle as well as it does.

Very happy Volvo owner here!

Well I did find out that the right front (passengers side) turn signal cover is cracked and I'd like to replace it. The light works fine and everything, just need the plastic cover. Any ideas where to order that online? I called a couple of my local salvage yards here, which a couple are ran by old greaseballs that live in their junk yard and they wanted $79 just for the plastic LOL.

Thanks for any help in advance guys, appreciate it!

Thanks a ton guys, I think I found what I need. Attached is a picture of my turn signal with the plastic off, which cracked in half as I thought it would.

Would this be what I need here? http://www.fcpgroton.com/product-exe...category_id/21

I'm not sure if they are looking at left/right from the front of the car, or drivers seat. Sorry, so noob

Much appreciated for all the help fellas.

**Edit**
Sorry guys, found this as well - http://www.fcpgroton.com/product-exe...category_id/21

This one looks right to me, just don't know if they mean left/right front drivers seat or front of car
