Found that I wasn't supposed to use the front cover gasket that came with my rebuild kit, so I just got finished fixing that. Currently in the process of relocating my battery to do a front mount. Unfortunately I don't think I will have time to do the poly bushing kit or put in my glass sunroof :-(

Good luck to everyone on getting their projects finished this month! :-)

Yesterday I prepped the volvo as far as I could. It is now in the paint shop, getting the bumper covers, door trim, door, fender, and new oem spoiler painted up. Should have it back with plenty of time for M and I to clean up her.
ONLY 2 WEEKS TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!

Damm thats a huge swap out in a day. Save some time for the phatbody.

Checked on the volvo today after work. Fender, hood, and door, are ready for primer. Bumper covers are off and being repaired. Probably spray primer monday afternoon. This shop is fast.!!!

Don't worry about it. You can park next to me. that should make yours look pretty good. I'll be damned if I'm going out in a snowstorm in july to clean my car.

Don't say that...Iotus one of our cars is in pretty bad shape. My car (Blue) she always gets a good detailing and a few coats of polish on her after a long snowy winter here in snowkompton. Our other car JR was painted last fall, but never got wet sanded. So just normal cleaning and polishing.

I think all of us have dents lol. So yeah lol just park next to bstrange99 jk..

Never be ashamed of your car, they are all unique

Can't wait to see them in person Grae.
Codeblue - looks good - how much blue paint do you guys own?
wankelnoob - don't worry on it, this event is just our excuse to get the stuff done we've wanted to do since purchasing the car since the previous owner used the driving by feel method.

Oh yeah, since the cars in the shop, I've updated my cafepress stores and bought some stuff.
