Thats awesome.  Will Hell Moose Performance be the name for your business adventure?

If you fellas are using chrome, then I recommend downloading "Photobucket Hotlink Fix" extension to make all these old photobucket forum threads work again.

Interested!  This should be a great time to clean up the bay to match the exterior too.

Love this thread.  Thanks for including part #'s, those will come in handy.

I find it interesting that it didn't have headlight wipers.... or curious if this was an option on the 95s.

Anyone care to explain what happened to PB?  Their servers are slow as tits.  I have 1000's of pics over the course of 14yrs there.. Hate to move all that shit.

Decided to repair all 4 broken dash mounts and start the interior color conversion.  

Thanks man. Got them with a $60 rebate card too.  Probably why they were backordered.

Meili is growing strong.  Probably about 70-80lbs already.  Also Tirerack finally delivered my new tires after a 5 week wait.  Comical how sticky they are.  Last set this good was some Falken Azenis I had.







Also took my dad out for some high speed karting for fathers day.

Life took priority.  Wife's 30th will be spent in New Orleans during Carlisle so see you fellas in 2018.

LOL

Val, we are all brothers lol. We all work right in the middle of the shop haha!!!

Lol yup.


Picked up this munchkin yesterday.  Meili is a purebred GSD.









She is going to bed big.  Probably going to outweigh bandit by a good amount since her paws are already the same size.

I'm really digging the dark theme. Anticipated power level?

That's for the 240.

The Stant 45378 82 degree thermostat is for the Volvo 850.  Aaron Sommer helped me find it, but thanks.

Awesome.  Want one to run a bit richer?

What have I missed?

I too got married.  Bought a house. Bought/sold more Volvos.  Got animals.

I came across one of my older vids.  Driving conservative but making good boostie noises.
 

Awesome!  Whats the story on the block?

Started tearing down a 100k whiteblock.

Damn...its already January.  I should put the motor in already.

Started mocking up a smaller racing sim.  Not gonna do a crazy monitor setup since I'll get the next gen VR.  Gonna upgrade to some more Fanatec gear also.

How long are you back in OH for Lucas ? Just the holidays ?

Looks good Val. I would suggest starting small on the paint. I do some paint (I did panels on my 59 VW and then decided to have the whole thing painted in its original color locally) and yes prep is everything but a clean, large space with good ventilation is essential. 

Pretty sure my business insurance would go up a bit if I declared I was painting in the shop.  My nextdoor neighbor owns a body shop a minute away.  I use him for personal and clients.

First snow dumped over 5 inches yesterday.  Super happy not having to shovel a driveway any longer.





Got the studded winter tires on just in time.

Thanks for stopping out Lucas!

Def wanna setup a place to paint.  I have the gear, just need a new bigass compressor.  I can find out.  It is one of the best jobs I have seen.  Threw it under my detailing lights and zero orange peel.  What do you need painted on the Volvo?

Replaced some PCV things and added a BOV while sipping a Dragonsaddle.  Absolutely amazing.

So good.
