Volvo STORIES Forum

Here's my story. I recently bought an 88 760 Wagon with the Ford V8 conversion. With all the paper work I got with the car were several article printouts on subjects related to the car. So had to look here and see what I might find. I love the wagon, practicle AND Fun. Being 21 year old and as best I can tell through at least 3 owner in the last few years it need some attention. Like a fresh set of rear brakes. I found them to be about 100% ineffective as the calipers were frozen up and one side of each of the rotors was rusted up! I have driven it some and it is a great car - My First Volvo but if you count the Mustang running gear - this must be about the 10th.. I am sure I'll be around looking for help there are a few quirky electrical things going on and I am sure I'll have many questions on the Volvo side of this hybrid I call a Fjord!
