Posted in R but think this is a better place.

Time to move on after almost 10 years and 80000 miles...

tired of bent driver's side wiper arms, suspension clunks, etc. and have no time to wrench myself and too much to be done money wise if I pay someone else to do it.

96 855 Turbo, nautic blue, tan interior, just short of 131000 miles on the clock.

Needs:

1. Windshield - 3 stars stopped with epoxy, 4th is a crack on passenger side that hasn't run all the way to the edge.

2. Driver's side seat back cable won't engage, melting sheath didn't work.

3. Needs alignment and one tire upfront, back two still good for another 20K, other front one has only 4k miles on it. General exclaim UHP 205/55/16 and a set of Dunlop M2 on perfos with one season left for winter.

4. needs oil cooler lines replaced.

5. needs RF trans seal

6. rear brakes squeal but due to pads - wagner thermo quiet with plenty of pad life left.

7. emergency brake shoes need to be installed. Have Meyle ones new in box

8. Interior is fair to good, some cracks but no tears.

9. suspension clunks upfront, not sure if endlinks or shock needs to be tightened on one or both sides

10. chasing down misfires - coil is showing bad so needs that too.

11. needs lower motor/trans mount - saw this when replacing radiator.

12. PCV system probably needs doing, have everything to do it

13. Going to need a steering rack too - one original one - slow leaks, been adding fluid about every 3 months

mods:

1. Speedtuning 17psi chip

2. 302 front brakes with akebono pads - no squeals or warping, steel braided lines all around.

3. Pioneer DEH-P4200UB on stock speakers, all work

4. 3rd row seat

5. have 2nd row boosters from v70 but pulled out since my son is tall enough without them. also has center booster.

6. PIAA sports horns

7. upgraded abs block from s/v70 with soldered abs control unit

8. 850 jewel lamps with xpel protection - have old ones and projectors, bulbs for retrofit I never got around to doing.

9. Samco hoses - black

10. XC70 rails and crossbars

11. Euro drivers side heated mirror

I have an entire manilla folder of almost all work done to it since buying in february of 2002.

Recent work in the past year.
axle, one front hub, brand new OEM valeo? radiator installed yesterday with coolant flush, new bosch o2 sensor front, lemforder? control arms, 1.5 years on kingsbourne wires, odometer gear has been replaced, crank sensor done in past two weeks. Front right motor mount replaced. Much more stuff done - will go through folder tonight and update.

Only quick exterior pic I have up at the moment. Weather is crappy here now.

Have boatloads of spare stuff.

winter dunlop M2 set on perfos, 4 other perfos, 1996/97 M56H with 30-40K miles on it - everything for manual swap except clutch, flywheel, and a couple of switches, 3" metal cat and 3" used obx downpipe never installed, box of 3" ss bends for exhaust mods I never got to, R manifold with all gaskets, bolts and washers for complete installation, complete PCV kit install I didn't get time to do, coolant temp sensor, 2 columbas, and so much more.

What is it worth? I figured I would post here first if anyone is interested. Don't feel right about donating and not sure if they will take it on trade. Haven't had time to look at cars yet and don't like the trade in aspect. Questions and comments welcome and needed.
