Volvospeed Forums: It's a Bolbo Holmes - Viewing Profile

Fixed my whip, Lucas was right, ECT... so I replaced that with a new one from DW Volvo and its running... note to file, ETMS aren't switchable... I had one from a 99 S80 T6 in there (same as my car) and it idles like crap, when I pushed the gas pedal nothing happened half the time and the other half it worked but sluggishly...

I'm looking to finish my swap, I need a black dash, glovebox door and kick panels from an S80. The dash just needs to be in decent condition, no rips or tears and must not have had an airbag blown through it. I can either drive a little distance from Cincinnati or Chicago to pick it up. I can pay you as soon as you pick it up then I'll come and get it as soon as possible. Or if you're willing to hold onto it until Carlisle that works for me if you're from the NEC.

Let me know what you find!

Headlight/Corner setup - $75+shipping OBO.













































Also a bunch of switches from a few 850/x70s.

Switches - $4 shipped or 3 for $10























Set of S80 taillights, in perfect condition with all bulb holders. $100+shipping. Or I'll put them on eBay separately.


Local pickup is available in Cincinnati, OH if you want to save on shipping. I just need some money right now to help fix the S80.

A buddy of mine and I have been talking about getting a welder, something to do basic exhaust work and other small bodywork/fabrication for some small projects.

I was wondering what everyone has here (if they have one) or recommendations on what to get. I know how to Tig and Mig Weld so either would be a good option, looking to keep it under $500 probably, and preferably no gas (just because I don't want to have to leave gas cylinders in my garage when not at home when I go back to school. I have no large preference but I'd just like to get something relatively simple for small projects, if theres any big things I need welded I have a buddy that can help us out in a pinch.

What do you have/any recommendations for something simple, easy to use, preferably 110v and gas free.

The story is unbelievably touching, read the blog then watch the video and if you don't get emotional I'm going to castrate you with a rusty spoon.
