Pulled the front bumper off of the 960 to get it back on properly. Also adjusted the hood, fixed the passenger side wiper and worked on the dent on the front of the hood a little. (I bumped into a Crate Murtle tree in front of my office a few weeks ago).

Swapped my door panels for some T5-R door panels and inserts. I now have rear door speakers and the black is sexxay. Post some pictures when I feel like taking some. :D

As known Went to the dealer to get the software upgrade ($44). Then they told me $120 for labor. Then car would not start due to a fuel pump relay missing.

Did the ac delco boost controller mod the other day w/ oil return gaskets from turbo. Took it out and threw cel parked in the driveway letting it cool off. Ordered new software and obd II connector to plug laptop into volvo - yay! It's suppose to shut off the service light, we'll see though.

960 - Fixed a radiator leak coming from the overfill line (that I disconnected a couple of weeks ago). Had to use a zip tie because I did not have a clamp & the clamp on there was to weak.

cbevis Jan 29, 2010 08:20 AM

I replaced both front calipers and the inner tie rods.

Did a few things on the purple wagon today. Installed rear lowering springs, blacked out grill, and tinted corner lights. Still have some problems to work out. Many have swapped an auto to a manual but have not ever seen anyone swap a manual car to auto.
Here is a pic of before and a few from after.

Today, I drained out my excess gear oil in the trans from when I replaced it last night. Appearantly it doesnt take all 5 quarts or whatever. Drove it around for a bit, seems like my shifts are alot smoother, but I still have trouble in 2nd and 3rd, maybe something got screwy when I took the shifter out and put it back in...

I'm still leaking gear/motor oil in that area though, I dont know why. Everything is tight...

Maybe just grease/grime burning off and forming into a liquid? It was pretty dirty under there...

Drove the 960 through the car wash to get all the dirt & salt stuff off of it from our winter weather last week.
