Charlie,

Turned 52 a couple of months ago--about the same time my 16 year old son and I finished work on the 83 244Ti we've been building for him. We did shocks/struts/bars/rear axle/new trans/cooling system/etc.

The turbo was my 3rd "major." First was the 83 245 5.0 I built for my bride back in 95 (she still loves that car). That was followed by an 83 245 diesel-to-b230f swap for my oldest son in 99 (that car was from up norht--it rusted away last winter).

Seems like about every 4 years I get the itch to do something big to a Volvo. It's a good hobby--helps me to think along "disciplined" lines--almost an exercise in rationality. That's more than I can say for the day to day . . .

As my late father used to say, enjoy getting older--it beats the heck out of the alternative . . .

Best regards,

Steve A-
