I was too legit. Too legit to quit.

Painting done :nod: Time to clean up the engine bay, put the new belts on, and put 'er back together

No worries Gary, we'll do a track night up there sometime :nod:

Engine is back together. Testing for leaks before I button everything up

Used this paint for the engine bay stuff. I like it so far. Looks OEM but has a tiny bit of flake in it so it looks nice in the sun.

Funny, I was painting stuff last night on mine as well. Had some Krylon but for some reason it didn't want to dry this time around, so there's a couple finger prints on it, despite sitting overnight.

Wagon is almost done, 140 just needs a bath. Found the radiator is leaking, not the water pump on it. Nothing like last minute show prep. lol
 
Volvos know when a show is coming...they toy with our emotions :lol:

I'm sure you've all done it, but I ran the car open downpipe for yuks. Sounds awesome but I'm SO glad I have a full exhaust :nod:
 
All buttoned up! Didn't have time to do the center caps and a few odds and ends, but no worries. See you guys in a few hours! :wave:

Definitely. Congrats on the placements btw! :wave:

The 740 has a few more things coming this summer, but then it will be time to jump into the 242...:-D

Thanks!

Next year the 242 will be at the show right? RIGHT?!?

My dad brought his LT1 265 and his friend brought his minty 242 turbo so YES, I want to park with them next year. My roomie can bring up my 7 if he doesn't find his own by then. He really wants a pre-90 744 :uh::lol:

Is there a Davis photo thread yet? I'll drop mine in there.

In local news, there is a Volvo meet at my parent's house every day :oogle:

Edit: I have to say THANK YOU again to Janspeed for pointing out my strut mount! Between that fix and a new lower control arm the car rides excellent on the freeway now with no pull in the steering :nod:
