Anyone,

I posted several weeks ago electrical problems I was having with my 240DL. Thanks for the help and yes it was the wiring harness and all is well.

A little background. It's my old 240 I absolutly love this car. My family hates it ( my 16 year old daughter was using it ) so I've turned over my daily driver 95 850 over to her and I am now commited to my 240.

One of the big issues was the interior ( beauty is in the eye of the beholder) Yes the inside door handles and pockets are comming off yes the dash is cracked, yes the cloth seats are worn thread bear and a little of the over head is comming down. Ok so you have to slam the door to get a good shut and most of the side window gaskets have rotted away but !!!! It starts... purrs and I enjoy driving it.

My question is I know i need to get the above things fixed to have good Karma in the household, if not to bring it up to it's beauty level it deserves. Where do i start for parts? Please don't tell me a junk yard. Down here in the south they are very limited in volvo used parts and the ones I have seen are just as bad. Any comments appreciated.

Lee
