Oh, this is a nice looking Volvo! What comes on talking, you can post lots of pics, because a good picture tells more than thousand words. :hello:
Thank you! But currently there are no new photos, the car is not fully assembled, is in boxing since July - waiting spare parts. The fact that, not all required spare parts to converting to AWD, taken from a donor car. And the V70 was not a donor in the literal sense.
Originally there were two cars: my 850R manual transmission, and my friend's V70R AWD Automatic.
I needed an AWD. Because I was planning to increase the capacity of my car. At the same time to burn tires, I do not like. Naturally, I needed only a manual transmission.
My friend wanted a FWD. Because he planned to decrease operating costs of his car. FWD with manual transmission can significantly reduce fuel consumption, spare parts are cheaper and easier to get (spare parts for AWD's, basically, only the original, and only under the order. The waiting time in the absence of a warehouse in Moscow - more than a month), repair easier (for example replacement fuel pump for AWD is much more laborious than the FWD), the reliability of a manual transmission is also much higher than the automatic.
So we decided to rearrange everything from 850 to V70, and vice versa.
But, I ordered myself a new box M58H, new flywheel, new clutch completely (cylinders, tubes, among others). Because all these parts from my car now installed on V70. Waiting for the transmission took about 1.5 months. Well, in the middle of July, all brought. But it turned out that all sorts of small things missing, which, by VIDA, to be together with the gearbox. Again the order, and nearly as many expectations .... Then I decided to order (it's all in V70 was not in the best condition, and quite new is always better than second-hand
) the front drive shafts (left and right), and cardan shaft, and still something.Expected to ship the last batch of spare parts - 15/10/2011
waiting ....
By the way, Pegasus wheels and S60R brakes already brought
