Still looking for a seat bottom for the old 86 245DL. Stopped by a yard that had a white 245 wagon and looked at the seat. Found a good seat bottom but the guy wants me to buy the whole interior. I hate tan, the leather is rougher than a lady of the evening at church, and I just need a seat bottom.

Walking out I see a red block engine, with this huge DOHC with the word Volvo on the cover with a turbo just sitting there. The mind raced, what I could do with that engine. Rebuild it, get the Turbo overhauled, get a new inter- cooler, and so on. Put that in Inga and have a blast doing it. Your fault fellow BB'er that I even recognize a engine like that. Was thinking how I would use the "look what followed me home " line. This is like the sirens calling sailors to a sure death on the rocks.

I would die a sudden death if that was gotten this close to Christmas, this soon after going $260 over budget (left the Hydras) on my Inga upgrade. Still have to put the poly bushings in the rear. Now that I have greatly improved the sound level in the front. All you hear is noise from under the back now.

That would be a really fun project. Maybe after retirement, no wait 25% of that is gone with wind, I may have to work until I am 80 at this rate.

Oh well, one can dream.....Turbo, Double Cams......

Paul
