=Enigma= Posted December 24, 2009 Share #85 Posted December 24, 2009 Cleaned it out and found an envelope under the drivers seat, had the signed title with the date of some 20 years earlier. It is the 57 444K in my Avitar. One of the first 100 Volvo's legally imported to the states. I about crapped my pants! That's funny. If he had only started working on it......then to learn that the care is a rarity. Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Camouflage Posted December 24, 2009 Share #86 Posted December 24, 2009 However, under the cowl panel I found a Philips head screwdriver, and no rust! . I can just imagine the PO putting the cowl on, and searching for the screwdriver to screw the screws back in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninjazombiemaster Posted March 8, 2013 Share #89 Posted March 8, 2013 Looked under my seats and ash tray and did not find a crack pipe. I found an old blush pad from a girls makeup kit (may have been from one of my passengers), a sticky note with a fast food order on it, and the answer to the added toggle switch mystery. They indeed are/were to control seat warmers. I'll have to look into why they don't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Nelson Posted March 8, 2013 Share #90 Posted March 8, 2013 What did I find under the seat?A hole in the floorboard where the rear crosslink was supposed to be bolted up. Not good! Took a fair amount of fabrication and welding to put something in there STIFF enough to provide a good mounting point. That DID explain the cold drafts passengers complained about...

Stanley Posted March 8, 2013 Share #92 Posted March 8, 2013 Day after I bought the car, pulled the disgusting blue sheepskin seat covers off and found a pillow stuffed into a hole in the seat on the driver side. The P.O. must have had a vicous butt. Paid a local shop to rebuild the seat. Worth it though - have nice seats now. Wouldn't want to take an interstate drive on 40 year old seats.

I can only hope I look that good at 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black gold man Posted March 8, 2013 Share #94 Posted March 8, 2013 Two strips of sandpaper tucked in the seat spring with Japanese on the back look to be unused. This is out of my 78 z. 1 inch x 6 inch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
