Nice. I have the same color on my 745t. Fix the door and it will look even better.
There are a lot of Part outs on this site, so you should be able to find a door for a good price.

Yep I'm going to have someone look at the door first.

Is the 850 wagon door the same? I believe that there's one at the local bone yard.

Looks pretty good will look great when the damage is fixed.
Not sure if the doors are the same or not. But on the other hand when you find a door it will be very easy to swap. They are almost as easy as Jeep doors to change.

I went to the junk yard today and they had two wrecked 850s. I took all the switches that I didn't have out of the car.

When I in un did my punch panels for the heated seats, I found that they were pre wired, so I put the switches in.

The seats heated right up.


wtf?



Were all seats heated?


How hard is is to add it to the back?

If the seats heated right up then you are really lucky. The cars are prewired but it is all up to if it has the seats them selves in the car.

I have never seen heated rear seats on a 850.

You would have to get a heat pad and undo the uphosltry and run some wires for the controls and power. Not the easiest task but i guess itis do able.

Hey now! Whats wrong with more switches?

If you set everything with lighted switches youll end up with one really cool looking[sm=shades.gif] dash.

I like the idea of heated rear seats and Im fairly certain that there was at least one Volvo model/trim level that came with them as a factory option. Im looking on a different page to see if I can find something.

I know for sure that the Cadillac SLS had them and the car was a really nice drive, but the issues that I know of from flesh and blood owners are bothersome and while they all say that it is a fantastic car, if they could go back and do it again, of the five Lac owners that I know three wouldhave boughtaMercand and two the R Weapon.

Im looking for just an element for The Anvil as the heat is gone, felt a really hot spot on the right cheek last spring and then there was nothing []. So Im sure that theres a broken wire.

I like the idea that you have and I know that there are a couple of open spots in the fuse panel so with the proper parts/wiring it shouldnt take more than half a day. Im using what time I think it would take me to do it as I really plan out thesethings that I need because I cant stand having to go back and forth for stuff.

Please take pics and post if you do go ahead. Im sure that there are a lot of people herethat, if not too expensive, would give it a go. My first priority is my seat.
