Hey everyone,
I'm new to the message board, I thought I'll introduce myself and my car here, and also show off the list the things I've added :-)
My name's William, I'm 22 years old in Brisbane, Australia. My car is a '90 740 GL sedan, white with beige cloth interior. B230F engine and AW-70L transmission. Came with power windows and central locking, but it doesn't have sunroof or heated seats. Here is a list of genuine Volvo parts I've added so far -
Snow Cap (ventilation intake cover)
Door Sill Moulding (similar to the late 960's, except it says "Volvo" instead of "960")
Centre arm rest with drink holder
Front mud-flaps
"Sirius" 15" alloys (Pulled from an early 760 and reconditioned)
Fog lights (quite rare on the '90+ 740's)
Rear sun blind
Volt Gauge (from a wrecked Turbo)
Oil pressure gauge
Power mirror conversion (car came with manual mirrors)
Volvo 5.25" hat-shelf speakers (HT-183)
Cruise control
Wood door trim (Rosewood)
Volvo single-DIN head unit with in-dash CD player (CT-906)
Radio amplifier from 960, 4 x 40W
960 dome light with front reading lights (original dome light did not have reading lights)
Late-760 interior pillar trims, velvet-covered.
Rear reading lights (standard in 760 / 960's)
Clear front fender indicators (replaced amber ones)
Re-badged to "740 GLT" (never sold in Australia)
I also have a pair of headlight wiper mechanism waiting to be installed, and I'm waiting on a few more parts including 960 sunvisors with lighted vanity mirrors on both driver and passenger side (currently only mirror on passenger side and un-lighted) and a pair of '92 and later one-piece front headrests to replace the ladder-back type. I'm also waiting for a pair of upgraded anti-sway bars (23mm front, 19mm rear) to arrive from Sweden. My local Volvo dealer only asked US$130 for them, brand new, lot cheaper than IPD's!
I've also added some non-genuine accessories to my car, these include an Alpine CHM-S620 CD changer, Alpine 6.5" speakers in the front doors and 5.25" speakers in the rear doors (replaced the factory speakers). K&N panel air filter, Mongoose alarm & immoboliser with remote lock/unlock, and Tint-a-car window tinting.
Here's a photo of my car. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone, as well as trading information and experience on Volvo's!
