Nice work there Dan, keep that beige ignition amplifier on the wheel arch near the ignition coil !
Keep the idle ecu too, should be same as the D

I would also strip the relays and fuses lamps if they are the same types too !

I bet it won't take you long to strip the main volvo bits down like light units, interior, wheels etc. and sell it on ebay !

I think it took me about 4 hours to get it out. The hardest part was getting the gearbox off the engine. Having to climb under the car with no pit and undo fiddly little bolts for the flywheel cover, as well as the main big bolts that were hard to get leverage on while laying on my back.

Started swapping the sandwich plate over today to make it into a delorean engine. Can't bolt it up though as I need some RTV sealant and a new o-ring :roll: Anyway it looks more like a delorean engine now :)
