This will be my last project to sort out an old car, lol. Getting parts seem to take for ever lately too.
Hope to have it on the road in April. Lot of loose ends and missing key parts were when got the car last year in February.
New main wiring harness, changing from auto to manual. New colour from gold to dark sapphire blue and other stuff. I'm missing the driver side carpet in the footwell, impossible to find the colour of brown in this car, let alone in wool like the originals. Rest of the carpets are in great shape.

Yeah, that's what I'll do if the upholstery shop can't find a close match. They have been trying for almost two weeks from several suppliers. VP Autoparts have complete kit available for around $449 US. Only problem with those, according to the Volvo club guys, the new kit is synthetic and looks like chit after a few years.
