HI all - thought I would start a thread as the work starts on the volvo - for now getting her up to par. first job is to service her and do the brakes once Roadie has done the driveshaft gaiter and tie rod (and which ever sodding bush is knackered and clunking!)

then - i need to solve the rear light units that have gone white... i was going to buy second hand ones but for £80... not gonna happen! SO - smoke them to match the dark colour of the car! Next question - HOW is the best way to tint them?
