Will,

Thanks for responding. How are you?

Yes. Everything. I agree with you about the donor car. I think I could get away with having one old Volvo stashed in my parents barn, but two?

Yeah, the car barely starts! Although I think it would run fine with minimal effort, it has been driven very little recently.

I've thought about it some more and I'm not sure the swap makes sense. Why? Because after a lot of effort, I would get a car that does basically what my current 945T does, except without AC and 25 years worth of creature comforts and suspension "advancements".

Probably better to get it tuned up, suspension refreshed, maybe painted, etc, then start thinking about drive train swaps.
