I just have a 444

We'll let's see the list of things I've accomplished this year include:
Installed front bumper w/ overider bar- first had it straightened and rechromed
Tossed out the old angle iron bumper
Rebuilt and tuned the carburetors - new jets, floats, needles, shafts, butterflies, etc
Installed new air filters
Installed a whole new exhaust system
New distributor cap, rotor, wires, plugs, and electronic ignition
Fixed broken distributor gear discovered while doing above
Took apart the dash and cleaned out all the gauges (there was a lot of oil and dust in there) and repainted (touchedup) everything that needed it
Added a 90 ohm resistor to the fuel gauge..
Still trying to find a replacement for that plastic yellowed speedo part
Chromed my air filter covers, valve cover, water pully, door handles, glove box, trim, horn ring, hubcaps, emblems and some other junk
Installed new rubber rock guards
Took apart the entire front suspension intending to rebuild it and get the car back on the road..quickly
First inspected everything to determine what needed replacing and found it was more than I initially thought (!)
Replaced both steering rods and tie rod ends with new (adding zerks to the tie rod ends)
Cleaned, painted & inspected the idler arm, rebushed idler arm and reinstalled
Cleaned up and painted the pitman arm
Cleaned up and painted the front springs
One upper control arm found to be severly bent, so bought a better used one
Rebuilt both upper control arms, replacing the pivot arms and rebushing
Rebuilt both lower control arms, but had to have some new shafts made where the rubber bushings that house the pivot arms go, as they were severly corroded Welded the new shafts in
Everything above got new bushings and bolts
Lubed all the new suspension fittings (no clogged zerks)
Reinstalled the control arms
no progress on the front end rebuild since this picture was taken
Installed new water pump
Removed the older set of horns that weren't working (I had 2 sets on my car) and painted them (red)
Got them working and reinstalled
Removed the extra horns
Cleaned and painted the fan
Rechromed the grill surround - burnt a hole in it in doing so
Sandblasted and painted the grill screen
Found an older grill on ebay I liked better anyway (good thing since I ruined the first one)
Fixed some of the holes on the new (old) grill with helicoils so I can install it now
Removed rusty old door sills
Rebuilt my steering wheel, filling in the cracks with epoxy, sanding it, then repainting it with flexible paint
I also painted the turn signal plastic piece, and cleaned and lubed the turn signal mechanism
Buffed up all the chrome on the steering wheel and turn signal
Polished the plastic horn piece, stripped the red and silver paint off and repainted "Volvo" on the horn and resprayed it
Fixed the horn contacts (they needed those little rubber insulators thingees)
Replaced the front turn signal rubber housings and got all running lights and turn signals working
Replaced all the bulbs..
Installed new cigarette lighter
New radiator cap
New gas filler rubber neck

In work:
Inspecting my front wheel bushings and trying to figure out if new ones would be any better than the old
Tyring to figure out what's the best grease to relube the wheel bearings with - Mobil 28?
Trying to find a reamer (to borrow or cheap) so I can rebush the king pin bushings and get the front suspension done and my car back on the road
Trying to mold some parts (taillight lenses, etc) with silicone and that dental mold stuff
Bought steel brake hose and fittings..to make some new brake lines
Redoing the front seats.. and upholstery

In the near future:
The steering box is/was leaking pretty bad, and probably needs rebuilding - I think I need a new worm gear
Install my new front shocks
Install a new radiator adding two 8" electric fans in front to pull air in Replace vent window seals
Replace all the other little rubber parts that need replacing
Get new door sills and rubber mats and replace those
Fix and paint the interior doors
