Cheers all!
First, a fresh dent. My best guess someone's large light colored truck bumper into my forward section of the fender:
Harbor freight to the rescue! Larger portion of the dent pulled out with the compact suction cup
Small dent left after that
Great $15 kit for these smaller dents
And now, after some cutting and buffing, the paint and the fender restored
Replaced the ugly dried up lower windshield corner trims
And now
Replaced the factory head unit, moved on into modern technology finally. All the music transferred to MP3 format, and I needed the Bluetooth. So factory cassette/cd is out and replaced with this basic Pioneer MVH-S622BS
Has all the basic features I needed, truly custom RGB color adjustments so buttons and display colors are well matched with the factory illumination. Has adjustment for brightness that is automatic based on the hours programmed, so it does not "blind" you out at night. And has 4V 3 sets of output. will replace all the tired speakers in the spring along with the 6ch amplifier and compact custom sub box (will go under the cargo cover).
My only gripe, that Metra kit had the grey metallic finish, and my trim is black. So I had to spray it out in multiple layers of black. Turned out perfect. I know there is a factory double din kit from Volvo, but at $120 I passed, took Crutchfiled up on their $9 discounted Metra that's that...
My little brother is such a good brother (also a Volvo owner, 99 V70 XC), he was at a pick-a-part yesterday, brought me near new condition all weather floor mats in my color! Dealer told me these are NLA in this sand color. Perfect for the winter!
So little thing, but needed things are being done.
Regards,
D
