Getting a bit inpatient waiting for my mate to be able to do the welding, especially as everything else is coming together now, so I have asked for a mobile welder to come out and gimmie a quote. He's coming out on monday, and if I'm happy with the price he'll do it that day!
Not really sure how much it's gonna be, but at least he wont have to strip the car, get parts or remove panels.
Fingers crossed (again) that he quotes me happy

Happy days....the welding is done!
Brian, a mobile mechanic and welder, gr8 guy, did a fantastic job today and all for 140 notes...even the weather stayed dry for the occasion
Here are some shots....
(There is masking tape over the sill plate thingy)
and all under sealed....
It's really straight and so good to have to bent bits removed
Now just have to wait for the paint shop to get in touch about the panels and start to refit!

Cheers.
Cleaned the carpet (used Rug Doctor.... OMG the colour of the water!!) and started refitting stuff today. The trim all went on very nicely next to the new sill which just shows how good a job Brian did. I will get it painted at a later date...when it's all really nice and warm...for now that bit can stay as it is.
I would like to treat the inner wheel arches as they don't look great. Planning to spray in some Waxoyl. Maybe job for tomorrow

Been doing some ICE today....decided to up grade the speakers....only managed the drivers side as I don't have the passenger side door yet, or the interior in the rear, but it's a start. Can't test either cause the battery is as flat as a really flat thing...look good though
The ones I got are Pioneers - not the best money can buy, but I'm sure will better than the orig Volvo jobos
Along side some of my son's car collection

Did my rear clusters today.....nice shiny ones went in.....was 'fun' taking the old ones out, but the end results is very good....I'm well pleased....
Removal of old faded clusters....
Replacement (thanks to Colm ).....(note I had to clean the surrounding bits of 480 to match the shinyness of the clusters )
What ya all reckon ??

Yes, you should.....it looked so bad before, but for relatively little amounts of money it looks great now....tell your friend not to give up on the 480....they are worth all the effort
