Exterior Work Started

I have started on the exterior styling work that needs to be done. I replaced the headlight wiper blades more for looks than functionality. At this point they don't work and are not high on my list of fixes. She has had two baths now and it is about time to take some TLC to the paint. The first order of business will be to try and pop out some of the door dings and hail dings on the roof. I am going to try one of the DIY dent removers on them. I will only be out $20 or so if it does not work. After that the car is going to have a date with the clay bar. I need to find a good place to work on her. I don't have a garage and it needs to be out of the sun when I do it.

  1. She is starting to look good.
    Not the she has ever looked bad.
    I mean she looks BAD like hot.
    Not that I think she has an overheating problem.
    I mean she hot on the strip.
    Not that I think she needs to be stripped.
    I mean she is good in a straight line.
    Not that she can't corner.
    I'm sure she has good curve prowess.
    Like in the twisty sections of the road not in her shape.
    Not that she isn't boxy like a Volvo.
    There are lots of good round Volvos.
    Look at the Amazon and the 1800.
    Not that they are the only REAL Volvos.
    The 850 is a real Volvo.
    I own an 850.
    Not that if I don't own one it's not a real Volvo. I don't own a 242 and that's a real Volvo.
    Well I owned a 244 Turbo and it was a real Volvo. Hell they made them from 74-93, That's 19. 19 years not 19 240s, There were 2.8 million 240s made so they have to be great.
    Not that there has to be millions made to be great. Take the 1995 850R in yellow. There were only 185 of them made and it's a REAL Volvo.
    Not that if you don't have an "R" then it's not a real Volvo.
    They never made a 240R and they raced them in ETCC so that must be a real Volvo.
    I'm gonna shut up before I put my foot in my mouth. I don't want to get lead poisoning.
