    @Nibby

    I know the key to all doors,
    I know the word to open eyes of a corpse,
    I am alive among the dead,
    And I am the master.
    Rising from the dead
    Among the swamps and darkness!

    • Nibby finally bought a used car

      1.jpg

      I looked at a 1990 Mustang GT convertible in March... it was $5k and ran great, but the underbody was rusty. I found this on Craigslist listed for $2k, but got it for $1,600.

      20220405_184318246.jpg

      1992 Volvo 740 wagon. It's been repainted at some point... it turns on a dime! I wish modern cars had tight turning circles

      Brown RWD manuel V8 wagon. The engine is a stock Volvo B230F 4 cylinder that originally cranked out 114hp.

      20220405_180356275.jpg

      This is what the engine bay looked like when I looked at it. The car had 132,700-something miles on it.

      20220525_093743.jpg

      Also wiped down the engine bay... not perfect but a bigly improvement

      20220407_090956.jpg

      Lols no AC.... no belt to the compressor + the signal wire is damaged.

      20220406_170257163.MP.jpg

      The day I brought it home. Previous owner took it across the country from NY to California and back.

      20220406_170314334.jpg

      It came with these roof racks, which I removed for now.

      20220406_175342607.jpg

      The seat bottoms are torn... I got the car detailed afterwards.

      20220424_190459.jpg

      Upgraded to fancy faux diamond pattern leather

      20220407_105631.jpg

      plenty of dead body storage

      20220407_105633.jpg

      even have the original cargo mat!

      20220411_110011.jpg

      so the bumpers were faded...

      20220411_124403.jpg

      restored them with this

      also did it to the side trim and mirrors

      20220418_181056.jpg

      dat air filter

      20220415_101017.jpg

      flushed the ATF

      20220427_082708.jpg

      the biggest problem the car had was it wouldn't always start first try. The previous owner replaced the alternator, battery, and starter. Turns out, it was the fuel pressure regulator... it starts first try now

      20220422_185001.jpg

      got a bluetooth FM transmitter so I can make calls and listen to music

      20220427_110043.jpg

      also found a tape to 3.5mm adapter.... tested it out in the garage

      20220524_150355.jpg

      after a wash

      20220524_150411.jpg

      I try to keep it clean... also the tires are in good shape too!

      20220528_091503.jpg

      The place I got it detailed actually does detailing for the local Volvo dealer so they tossed in rubber mats, including this cargo mat from an current-gen XC60.

      20220530_132000.jpg

      Mom and I took it a couple times to get plants

      20220604_082324.jpg

      garage life, tho mostly it stays outside

      20220603_144159.jpg

      bonding with my dad's XC60. fun fact, the 740 has more interior cargo space.

      20220608_110418.jpg

      speedo.... now it has almost 134,000 miles

      20220621_080050.jpg

      the back seat

      20220610_125257.jpg

      my ram makes a cameo appearance too

      img.jpeg

      they get along well. the 740 rides pretty well and runs very smoothly. Much better than when I got it... new oil, new ATF, new fuel filter, new fuel pressure regulator... it really made a huge difference in how it drives.

      Bought by someone who is into older Volvos and he came to Long Island, paid asking price ($3,800) and took it up to Maine. Made it home.

    • Buckle up, buckaroos

      20220717_083548.jpg

      2 of the seat belt buttons [and springs] were missing and one had a hole... so there are 3 new ones now. There are 2 in the back seat that are faded but I could just spray paint them red again.

      Now it's more comfortable to unbuckle
