I had to take the 242 out of the garage and give her a bath. Now she's all tucked back in and covered up.

Hopefully I'll have a f:censored:ing block to work with someday soon... I need to leave the 245 alone and focus on the 242 or I might be tempted to sell her next spring. :oops:

I hope you enjoyed looking at the rust free Cali cars I brought back to true dairyland, Wisconsin. (Babcock milk test (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babcock_test) for you CA haters) :-P

Thanks for the kudos guys...

speedn_j, you jinxed it brother, it just finished pouring outside!

I wouldn't mind another one in the stable, but one of them would have to go first.... I have my goal set on a 2006 V70R dumped on graphite Uglies.

What happened to your ecodes?
I really liked the way it looked with them. On the other hand the clean chrome US front end is getting so rare that I'm surprised by how much I like it.

Looking good.

I just never really appreciated the ecodes appearance so I had to unload them quite a while ago. I do regret getting rid of them, but oh well. For some reason I still think I have a pair somewhere in my house.... I have all my goods still packed up from my last home of record move leaving the military, so I may have to really dig. I swear I thought I got rid of the second pair though.... I just don't know who I sold them to.

No I bought this one from the original owner in downtown San Fran... check out his other cars. Gerards Garage (http://www.gerardsgarage.com/Garage/cars.htm) His dd is a Volvo wagon.
