This is my current '89 Volvo 740GL, its completely stock at the moment but I'd like to make it a little different. She's broken down twice but still the best car I've ever owned.
The series of unfortunate events:
- BREAK DOWN ONE... Overdrive Solenoid replaced
- BREAK DOWN TWO... Thermostat replaced
- Many lightbulbs replaced
- Bad fuel leak fixed (weak bladder). Had to replace the hose/pipe between the split fuel tank
Still needs fixing:
- Bad rear diff drone (Fixed! I hope)
- Tranny leak (Fixed!)
- Oil leak (Fixed!)
- A/C out of order
- Suspention's a bit bouncy
- Speed guage gets stuck under 40km/h
- Odometer reads the same numbers (approx. 214,000km) since i bought it over a year ago...and who knows how long before that.
- Need to mount my Clarion head unit "properly"
Modding plans:
- Loooooow suspention
- Whitewall tyres with origonal hubcaps
- Exhaust tip
- Tinted windows
- Improved sound system
- Euro style plates (for that european look)
...as you can see i dont want to do anything drastic, i want to keep The Volvo looking as classic as possible. Any other ideas, let me know :)
