Im going to try and keep this short and simple. My brick is a 744 1988 with 155000km driven.
The following needs changing:
Front suspension rebuild.
Rear axle.
Steering rack.
Possibly some wear items like rotors and pads.
Clutch.
Parts changed:
Ignition tuneup.
Timing belt and tensioner.
Center support bearing.
Oil, fuel and air filters.
Engine b230f and tranny M47: Runs and accelerates with no notisable hesitation and doesn't rattle or crunch when i change gears.
The body is mosty rust free, some parts need sanding and repainting but it looks good alround. no rust holes or such.
I can do all or most of the work my self but im unsure if i should. If i pour all the money and time in to this car what other expensive parts are left to die?
Trannys and engines aren't THAT expensive or hard to find. Im mostly worried about what other nasty surprises that could lurk deep down in brickland.
So what do you think? Would the volvo gods approve and give me many joyful miles or should i stop giving life support and just let it die?
