So last night saw the purchase of my new toy, '82 242GLT. Runs like a champ, and only has minor paint chips and the like. I'll get around to posting pictures later tonight when i get home, but in the mean time, i have a few questions.

The only bad thing about this car, is that it's auto with no O/D. NOT fun on the highway. Coincidentally though, to keep this one, i have to sell the '83 244DL, and it has a perfect M46 in it. I know this swap can be done, but would it be worth it to do the swap between these two cars? Or should i find a used M46 elsewhere? I'm on a bit of a budget, so the free tranny sitting in that car seems attractive......
How do the pedals come out? welding or anything? or all bolt out? After that, i think i can figure out the rest by looking through the archives.

I'm getting virgos for it after work today hopefully, there just happened to be some in the local buy and sell!!

I'm sure i'm gonna have lots of questions in the coming weeks, but one that's making me sad right now is that someone took the "Made in Canada" sticker out of the back window. Anyone know where to get these? It just doesn't feel like a canadian volvo without it...... The sticky residue is there, and the sticker under the hood, but i like seeing that blue writing when i look in the mirror.

I'll let y'all know how it goes, and hopefully put up some pics tonight!!!

Thanks everyone!!!

OH YA!! It's got stock E-codes!!!!!!!!
