The Volvo is on the Road

The car is running and driving. I actually drove it to work today.

Overall the car is doing great. I need to still swap the front strut assembly over from the saffron car, The front passenger side strut is making a ton of squeaking noises. The dash has a flashing arrow but the transmission is shifting fine, I need to run the scanner over lunch. Overall I can’t complain because the car has no leaks, temps are good, no check engine lights, etc. I was a lifesaver having two cars because I was

What I ended up swapping:
– 2.3 HPT motor (complete)
-Angle gear with collar sleeve (looks new)
-Both front axles (rebuilt)
-Driveshaft (rebuilt)
-302 mm front brakes (rotors, calipers, caliper brackets, hardware, and SS lines came from the saffron car; new pads came from the pewter car)
-ABS controller and front sensors (cleaned)
-Fuel pump relay
-K&N air filter
-Front passenger side hub assembly
-motor mounts
-I also replaced all the fluids in the motor, transmission, and angle gear.

What’s left to do mechanically:
-Vented rear brakes including SS lines
-change oil in rear
-swap the front strut assemblies
-change the spark plugs
-replace the HID headlight bulbs (ordered)
-change out the exhaust clamp between the downpipe and the rear
-Fuel filter
-Torque rod mount
