Today I cleaned my car...

 

new wiper blades...new tires...new battery....new ignition switch....change oil and filter
tried out the turbo...drives like a dream....2001 S40 1.9. 121k miles. Need to replace thermostat..already replaced the sensor. Soon she will be in tip top shape.
Need to give it a good cleaning...any ideas on what I need to restore the rubber on bumpers and doors ? What type of wax should I use ?

 

Got the rear bumper off. It wasn't held on by the brackets. Thank the Lord the car frame is ok. got 3 of the 4 bolts out.

 

Last week on the '98 V70 installed a new OEM radiator, replaced a cracked boot on a drive shaft, replaced a rear trail arm bushing, swapped my 15" snows for a set of 16". Washed it.

After hitting a bobcat on the interstate Tue night with my S80, spent Wed eve getting creative with zip ties and gorrilla tape to cobble the front end back together until it gets to the shop - estimate revealed the A/C condenser and the radiator also got bent in the impact.

 

Put the showroom new grey dye on my bumpers, started taking my old window tint off so I can get the windows re-tinted.

 

Finished installing my tow hitch and new rear bumper mounting brackets. Hurrah!!!

 

Installed a new fwd motor mount. It was worn, not DONE.

 

Sanded and painted my top intercooler pipe and ground and painted my rear brake calipers..

Did last tranny drain and refill. Changed oil. Also, wash, wax, vac, de-junk, clean floor mats, windows, filled up the tank.

 

Installed a 98 V70 XC gauge cluster in my 97 850 T5, COMPLETELY plug and play from the speedo to the trip computer! Could care less about synchronizing mileage which would cost me $400 from the dealer...

Also threw in a Sunpro Boost Gauge! Thanks RSPI for the knowledge (search function FTW). Volvo's are so badass, all I had to do for the install was connect a silicone vac line under the dash to the factory vacuum line, then put the black and red wires into the dimmer switch which required absolutely no cutting/splicing! Just lift the side of the connector and place the wires in!

 

Had a tire plugged. Discount tites did it for free & I did not purchase the tires from them.

 

i had completely washed my car........its fresh now and i am thinking to change the mats.......now they are looking old!!

 

fixed the door rod that had snapped in half and tried to fix my windshield wiper fluid pump but that one didnt go as well.

 

Not my car but another 850. Repaired 2 heated seats. Hurrah!!!

 

Installed the tow hitch wiring. Plugged it into a friends trailer and it didn't work right. So, I'm wondering if my wire job is bad, his trailer messed up or my harness switch bad???

 

Installed my rear cargo cover.

Took my rear hatch panel apart to see why my wiper doesn't work.

Reset my service light.

 

For the rear cargo cover, did you have to drill the holes in the side panels, or were they there already?

 

Had to drill the holes. It was easy, I used my rotozip because I couldn't find my drill bit.
