Christmastime for my Volvo!! 200 1983

posted by  someone claiming to be Mark on  Wed Oct 31 12:32 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Okay,

Good News: Got a deal to get a whole 242 Turbo (bad turbo and wiring harness), minus the wheels, for $100 this weekend.

Bad News: No way to transport entire vehicle the 5 hours from there to here. Also, not willing to take life into own hands by exposing wife to another 'Volvo Adventure'.

Thus, I am forced to rob the car of as many parts as I can get in 4-5 hours and still fit in my truck.

My Haynes Manual stinks. I got it from the library, and while it is very old and extremely disorganized, it gives me no good info for what I need. This being my first 'shopping spree', I'm also looking for any helpful advice. This is what I'm considering. . .

-Front Fender (passenger side) and headlight/blinker assemblies

-Dash removal (I know, his probably is just as bad as mine, but I want to be prepared)

-Steering wheel, mine is trashed (do I need a steering wheel puller?)

I am hoping the dash is easier than the one in my truck, which I never got out. Of course I need more parts than just these, but considering time and space, these are a priority.

Thanks,

Mark
