JEFKlipsch Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 wicked little ride that 242 is A long time me ago a friend got one of those, we teased him for years, we told him it looked like he was driving a shoebox. although at the time I think it was way ahead of every other car as far as safety features. Yeah, I've known this guy for probably 20 years. Met each other in a local car club and have been good friends ever since. He's had probably 10-15 different Volvos throughout the years. He had a '82 that he was gathering all the parts to do this same engine/trans swap. Reached out to the guy who did this one asking some questions and the guy offered him the car for a heck of a deal so he jumped on it. Now he keeps teasing me about buying his other and doing the swap.....it'd be a fun project...just not my cup of tea really....it is fun riding around with him and surprising Mustangs, Vettes, Porches etc.....always priceless looks on their faces as he burps through the gears passing them (I in no way support street racing...these are always done in a controlled environment with all required safety gear and licensed officials....and any other legal gobbity-goop that is required in this footnote) 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStewMan Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) Wait...we clean cars when they get dirty instead of buying new ones? Mighty big piece of information for you guys to be sitting on, don't you think? Edited August 11, 2015 by BigStewMan 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheel Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 Went out and finished one side of the Volvo. One side, rear, and top still to do. I think the horizontal panels are the only ones that need the clay treatment. And Carl....yes I am retired and if you take off the "re" I'm that as well 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CECAA850 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Yep, the flat panels that are horizontal collect debris at it sits. The sides, not so much. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted August 11, 2015 Moderators Share Posted August 11, 2015 Thought this was nice. "Fallen Soldier's Tribute To honor the memory of a soldier who was killed in action, Jeff Beurline corded off a special spot at his local bar in Connecticut for Lt. Michael P. Murphy. Beurline bought Murphy -- or "Murph," as he was known by friends -- a Guinness and propped a reserved sign on the beer alongside an American flag. The bartender not only agreed to pour random strangers a Guinness throughout the day, but also offered to pay the costs. Read Beurline's account of the act of kindness in his post on Seal of Honor's Facebook page" 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Good afternoon my friends.......again, a great day of friendly banter and, ON TOP of a great servo show with Mr. Crow, we got to hear 'His Master's Voice' ;0) Hey Mark, that is just the occasional weekend worrier 'job' :0) Ok, as promised, here is the latest photo update of the little House Wrens who are still in d'house ....

minermark Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Here is the latest video update. I like it, can it be programed to say anything ? That could be funny Yeah that is what i bought/stocked parts for but ideas change as progress continues. Mr Crow will have a motion sensor that will set off his "Act" something like inviting you to watch a movie or something, but ya know that gets old in a week, still baffled as to what he should do, random is good, bunch of different things he could say. The wife claimed him for the living room back when i started building him, hell i was going to keep him in the Cave and he would be swearing and yelling for a beer! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wardsweb Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I have the worst luck. I was trimming the Lantana by our mailbox when my hand hits the mailbox and it slices open the knuckle on my thumb. A trip to the Doc in a box and I have stitches holding it back together. I did finish the trimming when I got home. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
