Pelican cases are expensive... that's it :rolleyes:

I keep Lexol and a stack of microfiber cloths in a Lululemon bag behind the pax seat... ask SB. I won't even allow myself to touch the center console leather... I cover that with microfiber... Now exterior idgaf about because silver...
Correct. The detail supplies are in a generic plastic tub.

*correction* they're not in a tub. There was a handle........ he has a caddy for detail supplies.

I'm getting anxious here. If and when Skywolf comes here I was gonna offer to pick him up at the airport or whatever. Now, realising that would require a 50 hour cleaning session of the interior of my car, I'm not so sure.

Normally I'd just vacuum the carpet, and wash the dash amd centre console. Maybe do a little leathercare. Now I'll probably have to acid bathe the entire thing.

Don't worry. This only applies to my cars. I won't judge anyone.. unless they've got like pizza slices decomposing on the seats or something.. then yea. I'm honored you even thought of vacuuming before I arrived, jppetersonatl doesn't even do that for me.

He will actually get in my filthy rolling landfill and not judge....... too much. His obsession is largely focused on his own cars.

I think he was surprised when he did the white rag on my seat that the appearance was actually wear and not grunge. (I have cleaned them). I've also got 100,000+ more miles than he's used to dealing with.

There's no if and when. My flight back to Atlanta leaves from Oslo. I have to be there to make it home!

Just need to find a nice hotel, maybe one with P2s outside in the taxi stand.

When was it, april? Better get cleaning, then. Running out of time.

Sadly, P2s are a rare thing on the taxi stands here, but you'll find loads of Mercs, a few Priuses and Versos, one or two Teslas and if you're really lucky, and XC or V90.

You guys are funny. Still looking for an engine, not sure if the 2004 one will work. Disassembly Volvo or whatever name in Atlanta has a 2005 2.5T longblock with 96k for $950 delivered. That's not too bad, then 15 hours labor at $50/hour employee rate. Need a turbo and other parts but nothing major.

Too nice to go to the scrapyard. I bought a used AOC pump from a member here, hope it solves my DEM communication code that the pressure sensor and fluid top off didn't fix.

Good luck. Glad to see it might work out. Maybe Wichita should visit for a cheer up. It's been almost 6 months since you've seen him.
 
I think we forgot your thread was to get help. ?
That sounds too good to be true. 17-1800 to get it all back in shape?

I don't want to see his beautiful Ruby paint...red with envy or something like that.

My XC, unnamed at the moment, is too ill to leave Volvo of Marietta. When he's feeling better, you're on. He needs friends.

Was more wallowing in pity. It's too good to be true as it's one of the rare perks of working at a dealership. I wouldn't be able to afford this car at normal shop rates.

04-09 LPT are all the same engine. 950 is expensive and 15 hours is highway robbery...
