That Volvo lip looks pretty cool. I might have to go prowl some junk yards.

So
New alternator and a spare, ruined Bosch one we had sitting around.
Impact made a quick job of removing the bolt from the old one, then some prying to remove the rest of the fan/ pulley assembly and it's on the new one!
Now just to swap the ground cable, super easy, one bolt. Didn't like how exposed and ratty the cable looked, so some wire wrap and half a minute later...
About half an hour later, It's in!
Now, does it all work? It does! (this is with HID's and CB radio on, as well as 2 amps and a phone charging)
Now, the day after doing this, heading to a small meet, a fairly loud, metal on metal click/ hitting noise started from my engine. Eh, valves out of spec, hadn't been done in a while, employed a friend who had done so many times before to take care of them.
After all that, it was still there. And getting louder with every drive, I started to look into things and it seems to be either VERY severe piston slap, or more likely, wrist pin failure/ knock. Going to pick a new engine up this weekend.
On the bright side, my new arrived, so there's that.

So while I was waiting at my friends house to run and get the new engine, I decided to tackle a few things that have always bothered me. While my carpet certainly needs a re-dye after a year or so of heavy use, the only two things making my interior "incomplete" anymore was the drivers side kick/ speaker panel and the knee panel.
So I went about installing those, just a few bolts and a world of difference!
So anyway, went and looked at the engine, bought it and brought it back to the house. It's a bit dirty, but it's (mostly) complete and the price from a good friend was right. It will be entirely refreshed( I hate to overuse the word "rebuilt") minus the very bottom end.
All that I really managed to get done last night was get it on the stand, remove the wiring harness and A/c condenser.

omg... I didn't realize how much nicer the early model knee panel is compared to the piece of shit late model one that I always want to light on fire when I have to re-install it with the airbag bs...
