740 Sedan Cosmetic repair info needed 700 91

posted by  someone claiming to be Roguls on  Sun Dec 31 13:07 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Ok, just got my first new volvo (first one was, and still is till next week, an 88 240 GL). Its a 91 740T sedan, w/ m46. Mechanically, its cherry. Cosmetically, it needs work. Please, give me some tips.

1. Its dark battleship grey on the exterior. Got two spots that are too big for my liking, and I want to cover em till I get funds to have repainted. Does volvo make touch up paint? Whats the part num??

2. Front bumper has a crack (cavernous really). How can I repair this? Epoxy?

3. The roof lining sags down pretty bad in back. What can I use for a quick fix? 3M spray adhesive? Where can I get such a thing? I don't want to buy the ipd total repair kit, I just wanna tack it up for now.

4. I want to remove seats to clean. It has dual heated seats. Are there wires I need to disconnect or worry about to do this? Don't want to fix something that ain't broke till I broke it.

P.S. I'd never driven a turbo volvo before, and never a manual volvo either. I had driven my 240, my brothers 940GL, my fathers old 960 (totalled it, God rest its soul), my mothers old s90 and now her s80 2.9. The 740T just got up and went compared to the others. And it can only get faster as I clean her up............and to think, I wanted an older BMW..........
