Was this repair with 3 long pieces of sheet metal?
The horizontal one? that was probably 3-4 longer pieces for easier connect to the trunk floor.
that universal strip is looking clean around the window! looks Original.
Yeah, looks factory!
Looking good. Keep the updates coming!
Thanks!
So the test drive happened today, i took it slow and easy, made sure every suspension and brake bit is tightened down, put some spare coolant, tools and tire to the trunk and made it to the shop in front of us.
Then i rolled to the city, frequently checked temp gauge and every noise coming from the motor but everything worked as it should!
Only got a slight suspension noise from the back of the car... It turned out to be the shock upper bolts which were just thrown on months ago.
Rolled around with all the dust on it, it was quite fun! Even got a rolling thumbs up on a 4 lane street.
Also the cops pulled me over, because it does not have valid MOT right now, just a temporary permission to drive the car for 3 days.
Finally washed it:
Sorry for the blurry pics...
Pros, well suspension has almost no noise at all, engine is somewhat powerful, and its pretty damn smooth to ride! I love it!
Cons... Clutch slips... Thought the soft pedal equalt with somewhat new PP but it slips under load, you cant accelerate with more than half throttle even in 3rd gear.
Speedo has a sickness, it does not count for a while after i start the car... And also does not go over 105kmh
5th gear is noisy, gotta love volvo transmissions.
