Parting out a 98' Volvo s90
This was an amazing car until I had to get the head gasket replaced and two head bolts broke off while in the midst. Was able to recess the bolts out of the block but ended up buying a new car in a hurry.
Parts can be hard to find for these cars so if interested just shout out a part and I can help
Or if you'd like, I'll sell the whole car. Both interior and exterior are navy blue

S90 Parts
Can you advise whether there were any problems with the car? Also please advise the interior and exterior colors. I may be interested in some HVAC parts and the center lift-up armrest if it's complete and in good condition, and possibly other stuff depending on colors.
How did you get the bolts out of the block? I had a similar problem after the bearing blew out on my timing belt idler pulley and the valves all bent. Two bolts broken off in the block. I opted for a used motor (checking carfax and calling the most recent service contact helped me avoid a low mileage motor overheating from a leaky head gasket). I ended up with a motor with 50K more miles than the car and it's been a gem. I replaced all the timing gear before installation and renewed the pcv-flame trap plumbing soon after. I'm two years into the replacement motor and expect many years more. This car is so nice to drive (as were the 960's for the prior three years).
Anyway, hope your new car works out, and please get back to me on your S90.
