Engine/Drivetrain Modifications:

Interior/Exterior Modifications:
Interior:
Cleaned the interior spotless
Added 7 new gauges: a tac, two clocks, a voltmeter, a boost gauge, a engine oil bar gauge, and a new speedometer that upgraded the original one that read up to 85mph to a new one that reads to 120mph.
Fixed the gearshift and wiring, and then rewired it again, due to the fuse problem again, but I believe the problem is finally solved. Yay! Found two original front speakers and covers.
Found and purchased an original Volvo AM/FM/CB radio combo.
Replaced the brown front driver seat with a heated seat pulled from a 1991 wagon.
Rewired the tailgate harnesses.
Exterior:
Added both original front mounted pillar AM/FM antenna and a gutter mounted CB antenna. I was also able to properly install a late 70s chrome roofrack pulled from a '78 or '79 245 Wagon
Future Modifications:
Fixing the front end damage I caused, replacing the rectangular quad headlights with the round quad headlights, and finding some turbo rims. Replace both side mirrors.
