Having been bitten by the Volvo bug and needing another FWD car for the MG drive unit testing.... Along came a 2003 Volvo V70 P2 diesel with a snapped timing belt and ...sparse service history. It had also been "converted" to commercial for motor tax avoidance and thus has no back seats. Sigh.
Anyway, will be getting started on it hopefully next spring. Am seriously considering sourcing a parts car either in the UK or Europe if one comes up at the right price.

Nyland: what the heck is this thing?
Very sexy to have a test car for every drive train

Damien said the brass bonnet opener is a pipe clamp 
But there are some replacement parts on the way to Ireland

Re: [WIP] The Vee70
Even though this project hasn't really started yet, I started to gather some CAN logs from my Volvo S60: https://github.com/damienmaguire/Volvo- ... 5244S2 M56
Perhaps someone wants to play around with it as well?
As far as I know, these are the first public logs of of HISPEED and LOSPEED CAN busses of a P2 Volvo (pre-facelift).
