Fun fun fun!

$150!!! thats a good deal, I paid more than that for used body parts after the wife decided to crash into a fence post!! You may have to use one of those steam carpet cleaner things to get the smell of cigaretts out though.

Which oh, so handily I happen to own (Hoover steamvac). ;)

Oh, did I mention it's only got 150k on it?

HAHA. Only! I love the fact that a Volvo's second wind starts around 150k, and other cars are all done at 100. ;)

so my volvo should be getting its second wind in about 47,000 miles then - lol

although I may get shot of it before then if I have to replace anymore of turbo hoses

Is that $50 on the window? You paid that?

That might be a keeper! Body looks good. Does it run?

Actually I paid $150.

The frame is great, no rust to speak of, body is excellent except one dent on front passenger's door (easy enough to pull with a suction cup).

It runs... idles poorly but it runs. Actually the little nipple just rear of the alternator is wide open, I'm given to understand it needs to be closed. I'll cover that, slap in these new plugs, change the oil, and see how well it runs after that.

It has some new front suspension bits (unsure which yet, at least ball joints).

Brakes are bad. I haven't jacked it up yet to find out how bad. They DO stop the car, just not quickly or well. :(

Interior is disgusting but much of it is salvageable. Just scored a center console in "excellent" shape, 100% intact, for $20 off eBay. Still need to scrounge up a driver's seat ($50-$75 from a place near here, according to their online price thingy) and window. Beyond that it's mostly CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN inside, and disassemble/reassemble on principle.

And clean some more - it was owned by a chain smoker, so getting the cigarette stench out of there will be a challenge. *sigh*

think that "styling accessory for the wig" is actually a styling accessory for rolling a joint. pretty sure its half of an herb (the green kind) grinder. not that i would know, mind you!
