New 262C owner with questions 200 1977

I've just purchased a 1978 262C in fantastic condition from the origianl owner. I had a local independent Volvo garage go through it and got back a very favorable list of items needing attention. The garage recommended flushing the fluids on the brakes, power steering, and transmission (M46). They recommended putting in a BG products transmission conditioner. Anyone have any comment on putting an additive in the tranny? They also mentioned the front sway bars bushings are dry and cracking and need replacing. Also that the center bearing and carrier need to be looked at due to some driveline vibration. Can anyone recommend a good repair manual that covers the 262C? Haynes? Chilton's? I want to upgrade the AM/FM radio to an OEM cassette. Does anyone know which radio models/years will go into the 262? I also want to replace the wiper arms which are kind of weathered. Which model and year of Volvos can I use for replacement? Also, the electric mirrors work but sound kind of crunchy when moving. Is there a way to lube these? Last item. Is there a source for the grey coating that was used on the Corona wheels. These need to be re-conditioned. Thanks from a newbie. Rick
