CaptainWhoosh Posted May 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 Not much new with the car right now. A/C took a charge so it looks like I'll have a nice cool summer ? Went out to Euro Sunday with a couple other Volvos We don't do it for the glory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainWhoosh Posted July 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Still runnin ? Looking for a wagon so I can go bigger/better in a lot of ways, but having fun in the meantime. Got my Dad to race me in his LT1 swapped wagon. Just been DD'ing it and hitting the local car meets. Hope y'all are doing well! We don't do it for the glory.

CaptainWhoosh Posted August 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 New water pump, E-fan and brake booster. Hoping to be working on a tune with a local in the near future. Stereo still knocks like a nosy neighbor Dead water pump. Making the "car payment" lol. It served the car well through a lot of miles, many with AC We don't do it for the glory.

CaptainWhoosh Posted August 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 Pulled the Efan out to make some clearance for the water pump pulley My roommate wired it up with a new relay The little things really keep me motivated. Installed lighted window switches I scored at the wrecking yard. I think there is a factory way to make the driver's window AUTO function work.. going to look into it ? We don't do it for the glory.

CaptainWhoosh Posted August 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 Been hot around here, but the A/C is still working pretty well in the old girl. The voltage is a bit low with everything on though. I am starting to look at the electrical and what I can do to supplement or upgrade the alternator. Car has big 3 already, as well as 100 amp alt. Hope y'all are hanging in there! We don't do it for the glory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainWhoosh Posted August 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 Ordered a 16" low-pro Spal Stopped by Kruse/Lucas and picked up a valve cover gasket. Parked next to my 'twins" ? We don't do it for the glory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainWhoosh Posted August 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 Oil change this morning. In order to change over to lighted window switches you can pick up the correct switch (there are driver/passenger versions) or... Spent the early afternoon deciphering the different types of window switches. 3 different switches shown in various stages of disassembly We don't do it for the glory.

CaptainWhoosh Posted August 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 After many blunts and a lot of staring at the switches, I decided you can just solder the switch as I did here. The solder nearest to the bulb is where it needs to be done. The solder to the left was just to reinforce a connection that looked near breaking. Now I have lighted switches in all 4 doors. I'm no electrician so my solder work will improve over time. Auto window down relays coming soon! We don't do it for the glory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
