    ok well dam hot out today but rather then lay around the house i have pulled both my seats perhaps i shoulda left my drivers one alone but eh

    anyhow the passenger side is not as bad as the driver side upan closer look but still i need to go beef up my structur as my door closes bit stiff like the other side was doing hopefully i can also get my suspention mounting point beefed up also as the local potholes will take their toll on it if i don't

    after pulling up the carpet and sound damping i grabed this eek what a mess


    after taking the tar damping off i find i am left with this


    front passinger side floor i found the floor in way better shape then the driver side but still the damping pading was soaked not surprizing but still surprize how well the floor and subframe is just need to pic up some silica and get to sand blasting i gues and see how bad it realy is and get some new peaces welded in



    after diging and scraping and vacuming out all the crap this is what i'm left with still have a bunch more prop work to do befor i can put any new metal in but so far its looking prity good and i found what apears to be a plastic bag being used to patch some sorta previous hole in the floor

    Sad For My Car..

    By 1ajs,

    makes me sad to see how bad the rust is :S i think my best option is to find another 145 and build 1 out of 2 and store all the spare parts i can get in a storeage locker for it. down the street is an old warehouse thats rented out for storeing boats and working on cars ect should give the number on the building a call and find out how much they want for rent

    Another Quest Done

    By 1ajs,

    Another Quest Done.

    Found new brake pads who woulda thought i would have such a hard time finding pads for my car. if i had girling calipers i would of found a set real esay. But i have the ATE

    So today i was out runing around looking for pads agian and was sent to a shop by another shop and get there and ask and the guy looks on his computer then shook his head and then said wait here while i see what i have in the back back for old stock and vala he came back with a set of premium pads witch was not what i was looking for. but i got them marked down from 47.95 cause they were old stock and got them for 30$ couldn't say no to that cheaper then have ordering the cheapest set localy or online after shiping and taxs can't complain

    so my next quest is a set of dust boots for my caliper pistons already gone out looking around for them today gues i gota get them online or go for a 6 hour bike ride to the only volvo dealer in town to get told to buy a new volvo or get lost lol or suck up to my dad and go for a drive out there

    Brake Job

    By 1ajs,

    well being we have the parts car almost striped and have the doner motor for the acord sitting waiting to be tossed in the accord we decided to move the volvo but..... if you recall my brake lines are all rusty while trying to move the tank it stalled and moved forward and niped the brake lines on the flower box infront for the volvo doh so we get the volvo outa the way anyhow i move the car slowly and we put nail in to plug the line so we get it outa the yard and push the parts accord back into the yard were the volvo used to sit and take the volvo out for a spin around the block with barly working rear brakes lol sure got lota pick up still anyhow we get it back in the yard


    and pop the hood and to see were the leek is and notice its monkeyed..... so we went down to a automotive parts store and bought 25' of hose for 27$ and get back and get the aproparit tools out of the tool chest in the basement.



    in order to replace the lines the rad had to come out


    when we got it out we took the pressure washer and proceeded to wash the engin bay
    once we were finished that we decided to replace this part (the replacment one)

    being we had this part sitting in the back portch for 10 years and we had the rad out we replaced it maybe this will fix part of the oil leak anyhow we put the fan back on and the fan belt...... and proceed to start working on the brake lines

    replace all the main lines and then decide to call it a day after mucking around with it for 8 hrs and call it a day the next day we get back to finishing it and bleeding the lines and wind up riping the pasinger side bracke caliper after relizing it was seazed




    puting the caliper back together

    we get it back together and put it back on and relize while we were bleeding the lines for that side that driver side one is seazed so we take it off and are having a hell of a time trying to get it apart when we relize its about 4:30
    so we stop for the day and clean up and relax o well the tank has almost all new bracke lines in the front now and soon cleaned calipers and new pads what a weekend next on the list befor we put the rad back in do some rust treatment work and some patching but soon i shall get my mother to fax me some documents so i can legaly take tittle and throw plates on it... don't need to get it saftied since its staying in the family

    So...

    By 1ajs,

    well its just sat all summer till today we fired it up first turn with out the choke in it purred was like holy stuff lol but then the back carb started acting up so we pulled it and cleaned omg it was full of some weird grey mudy substance....... put it back on and fired it up with the chocke on this time and it pured then the main fuel line starts squrting now i need a new one of those.... gues over the years the bracket that mounts it to the motor wore a hole in it lol...... just gota fix that and then move the parts car honda we have for the accord...... and park it in the front drive so we can swap parts onto the accord and fix up the volvo a bit more maybe finaly get off my jerk and go do the drivers test........
