Re: A wheel arch issue
I second that, be careful of the rubberised underseal as it hides rust well.

The wheels look good.
If they were Volvo optional then even better, not as if they are tacky aftermarket wheels.
With 90's Volvo's becoming more rare it is nice to have the option to swap wheels.

Re: Bolts dimensions and parts

Might even have bought a couple of similar caliper bolts. I think I had to cut some down and extend the thread die. one roll of pipe mig...

It does get better when you have been driving a while and get older, I pay between £100 and 200 for my cars. Can yo...

if you can get front wings, it is the opposite side from the one you are welding.
