What did you do to your car today?
Installed a new lock cylinder on my V70. The shear bolts were a pain to get out, ended up drilling out the left one. No more issues starting the car! (My key would turn 360 degree in the tumbler) - did not need the electrical part, just the tumbler. Another forum had a great write-up DIY without need to take off the steering wheel.
Painted the heat shield that goes above the turbo, and the heat shield on the firewall with Ultra Flat Black 3000 Deg exhaust paint.

Started pulling the moldings, Mirrors, door handles, and bumpers for painting with the black bumper paint.
Measured out the length of pipe I will need for the RIP kit CAI tubing.

On my 98 v70awd the darn turn signal assembly plastic flanges broke and it blew off the car going down the road. Had that fixed, and a new heater/ac blower motor installed as it was worn out. And an oil change to boot

Well replaced the drivers side axle seal. Rebuilt the wiring harness inside the headlights! And then converted them to HIDs. Looks great just have to adjust them a little! Working in a guage pod for the gauges to come. I will post pics in my gallery when I get them!
On my 2005 S60 2.5T
Replaced fuel filter, spark plugs and flushed the tranny with Toyota T IV fluid.
Also sanded my front headlight lens to eliminate haze and stains using 3m kit. Excellent!

Pulled my turbo, alot easier than I thought..
I didnt even have to remove the exhaust housing, dont havr to worry about breaking studs.
My poor 854 will be sitting for about a week till I get the rebuild kit in.
