I was too legit. Too legit to quit.

So the MC rebuild almost worked, but the pedal isn't quite right. If I can find a comprehensive rebuild 'kit' I will try again, otherwise it's time for a new re-pop
 
I'm not going to start a new thread for the wagon, but I wanted to officially welcome Project Blue Balls to the family :cool:

This was Dad's 'work truck' for several years, and now it is mine. Will be the work truck around here for now. Plans are unknown :D

Nope, that was my fault :lol: The rear timing belt cover was turning to dust when I did the head gasket on it a few months ago. I've been procrastinating putting the new one on, but I know it needs to be done :oops:
 
My roommate has decided to re-join the club :cool: His last Volvo was a Black ~88 744 turbo w/ auto. This is an '85 244 dl w/ a manual. Here's a teaser, he can start his own thread :lol:

My motivation has been lacking a bit lately, but views like this help keep me fired up. Davis is practically around the corner! :lol:

Decided to go halves on the purchase of the V50 with my Dad. $600. Not too shabby :lol: 108K miles. Plan is to fix it up for my Mom, pending any major mechanical issues :cool:

The door inserts have been separating and faliing apart. Disassembled them today and applied new adhesive. Next up on the interior is an aftermarket driver seat :nod:

Cleaning out the parts bin and found these bits. This is for the newer Volvo tuners, but these are the parts from my "gutted airbox". The air is still traveling through the original path, but the restrictions are removed that work well for my car here in central California :nod:

So I gave the 744 some love, and now it's making a concerning noise in the bottom end..Might be time to part it out and put all the goodies in the wagon.
