Detailed the exterior. Full way and buff.

 

Yes, little by little. I hope to tear into the seats now. The drivers seat has a tear in the side bolster. I'm not sure if I will learn how to sew a seat skin or pay for some help.

 

When I replaced the micro switch in my passenger seat recently I replaced the hog clips and stitched the middle seam back togeather with an upholstery needle, bent like a "C" using clear fine fishing line. A repair like yours could be done by cross hatch stitching & getting a upholstery repair kit from Pep Boys or other auto stores. It consists of small bottles of different colored powder to be used with the base adhesive. Usually used to repair small holes in leather/cloth car seats. Mixed & applied with a popcicle stick.

 

Replaced drivers door latch mechanism. Had to remove the window regulator I just installed & adjusted. Purchased 9" x 12" felt cloth @ fabric store to repair insulation torn during regulator removal. 3M spray adhesive handy. Finger nail polih remover handy to remove excess spray, basically acetone. Works real good cleaning up gasket cement around windows, doesn't bother waxed paint job.

 

Replaced the rear door speakers with used ones I got from the jy.

So, I have 2 decent speakers that someone can have if they want to pay for postage. The speakers sound good until pushed to the max, then the bass clips. I would only hear the clipping when really pushed loud.

 

New brakes, calipers all the way around. New rotors on front.
Let me know what you guys think.

 

Cool, what color is the car?

 

Installed the previously mentioned new trico neoform wiper blades i ordered from wipers123. Wow, what a difference. Installation was easy just like the last few times. Now all I have to do is send in the rebate form and get my rebate back!!

 

Right now the car is blue, faded out blue. Interior is blue. Once all is said and done, new color will be a gun metal with black and gray interior. I'm doing all interior lights in blue LED and all parts I want highlighted in blue.

 

replaced steering rack, tranny flush (99' v70)

 

S70: Front brake rotors, ABS module, 1 Hub cap, cabin air filter and exterior detail. (Last time I seen this car I had a head gasket and a few other things, starting not to like this car ).

 

Passed smog, with flying colors. Replaced gas cap seal and again with a little light cleaning and polishing.

 

Front passenger door speaker. Used one from the jy.

 

1992 240: Replaced the odometer gear using the kit from iPD. Everything went pretty well!

 

Let the wife drive it !

 

I did not have it done today, but I have had some things done in the past few weeks: Both CV axles, B4 servo cover update, and replaced fuel door hinge.

 

hit a skunk tonight.... looks like ill be drivng my second baby the mercedes for a day or two while the stench dies down!

 

Skunk. Use spray from oranges. They make sprays that smell like fresh oranges. Kills skunk odor.

 

S70: Wash and waxed for the winter. Cleaned the motor (and got a misfire). Chasing misfire found a bad vac elbow at the PTC valve. Had to manufacture an elbow because daughter was leaving for college and the dealer doesn't stock them anymore.

850: Picked up a pair of NA cams to install in the near future. Repaired a slow leak in the left rear tire.

 

I am on the final stages of taking the cam cover/head off of my Volvo 850, and doing the works on it, but cash is a bit sparse, since i just spent 1700 cash on the car. i am planning on doing:
-PCV System/oil trap
-Plugs, Wires, Cap and Rotor
-Water Pump
-Oil Change
-Coolant Change
-Tranny fluid and filter change
-Timing belt.
-Hydraulic Lifters
-Valve stem Seals
-Clean carbon from all valves
-Send the fuel injectors off to be cleaned.
-Repair/replace the burnt exhuast valve on cylinder #3
-I may also do pistons. rings, and aftermarket H-Beam Rods. But this is not likely, because i don't have the cash.
I may want to mention that the car has 180,000 miles on it, but the odometer is broken, but ti does have 162 PSI on all cylinders. well, 0 on the one with a burnt exhaust valve, but that will be fixed.
