Well certainly has been a while, like all Winter, but I was volvo-less the whole time due to this:


So I ended up biking all winter, which kinda sucks. If you know much about the UP of Michigan, you'll know the winters can be pretty brutal and snowy. Thank god for studded bike tires and bar mits!!

But I ened up getting some parts and fixed the wagon back up:

All broken stuff off:


all done!


You'd hardly know this thing smacked a deer @ 65mph! I was pretty happy about it for my 1st real body repair job. Lots of time spent with a hammar and plyers and some patience, and as is common for anyone who frequents Turbobricks more and more, ZIP TIES! and, well, here I am.

At the present I'm aquiring parts for the sedan project as I am going to pull it out of storage when I move back home at the end of the month. Got a rust free fender (to replace the only rusty body panel on the car) a lot of misc. goodies, like a hood hinge, grill logo, new grille, gaskets, tune up parts, and...

A real VX camshaft that I scored for $100! The charts say this should bump the car from 114 hp to 136! Not a bad power gain for $100! I'm also throwing a bigger exhaust/intake on the car, so i'd like to be around ~140hp at the crank if I could, and at least make over 100hp to the rear wheels. Planning on picking up a locker rear end for this thing too, which should help with the fun factor.

Parts pile:



Well anyway, just figured I'd let folks know I wasn't dead, and still messing around with Volvos. I'll update with sedan progress as it comes along. The car pretty much needs a full resto, but it will be cherry when it's done! Hope everyone else has been doing well!!
