the first one i took home was supposed to be parted out. and that happened and i ended up selling it minus a lot of parts. namely ETM, abs module, abs pump, the fenders, window motors, front tan seats, power passenger seat, not to mention the parts that i sold. ended up selling that car for its engine for 300 bucks. missed it but oh well.
the second car took a little longer to purchase. middle of november got that and parked it at my house. it was a little scary getting it home but thank god it was .5 of a mile and used back roads. it had some serious running issues but threw no codes. the symptoms could have meant spending as much as 500 dollars for a new ETM. Fortunately it was as simple as a $2 dollar set of o-rings.
the second car is this magnificent beauty. made my mom fall in love with the idea of having a wagon.
the interior was relatively clean leather wise. the only downside was that the floors of the car were filthy. : /
the car was missing it's crankshaft position sensor. so i swapped that from the first olive as they were both 99's and the same car. it worked!
the damage to the hood of the car. fortunately the damage was only cosmetic.
missing a few bits like the lights and corners
it was missing it's rear door lock but i replaced that from the other xc70.
what a nice arse.

after the o-rings it idled alot better and sounded smoother. everyone was amazed at the difference.

time to replace the support.
sitting next to the support
