sorry it posted twice 700 1990

hi, im kinda new to brickboards, i have read before but only posted once or twice. anyway i just read through about 15 posts on people recomending the 760.
i'm 19 years old, my first car was a 240, and now i have had my 90 760t for about 2 years, and i probably have about 12-14 thousand in it. i have a hard time finding the right mechanics, sources for parts and everything else, i have most of it worked out now. a looooooot of money later. i rebuilt my own turbo, put a radiator in my car, valve cover gasket, tail lights about 100 times, i have had 2 in the tank pumps replaced and 3 out of the tank until i finally found someone who told me that you need a bosch or volvo pump that costs 500 dollars, so i did that, all new rims and tires, new seats... and on and on. but now i am having a problem with the crank pulley, it wont stay spinning it's little nub breaks off, i have put 3 new pulleys on it. my latest attempt was i took it to a volvo specialist and had him put a whole new crank and both pulleys and new timing belt and tensioner. the only thing i can think is my radiator shroud is hangin down on the fan a little, and maybe the stress is breaking the pulley nub???? and i'm almost ready to give up on the whole thing but i really love the car. it has 147 k on it, and i wanna know if its worth trying to make a daily driver or not? i appriciate any input from anyone... thanks mike
