...it finally seems like i have all parts i've ever wanted. got the original vindavisare, got the träpaneler for the doors (both bought in sweden) and the original leather armrest on ebay usa. yeeehaaaaaaa.....

the electrical problems are back....
turn on the lights - engine say good bye
turn on the headlamp wipers - engine says goodbye
all ground cables are alright....

i sold my good ol' 944 last weekend. now its gone - i loved that car. it was a 91' and sounded like a truck. it was my first volvo and it really NEVER caused any trouble - and it was quite rare, since only a few volvo sedans were sold in germany.
because aof all the band stuff i do i had to buy a station waggon - which is, off course a 940, but this time i got one of the german classic-edition cars. in my case with a lot of extras, yeah! and with an LPG-conversion, which means, i do not have to waste money at the petrol-station.
anyways, i just bought some trim parts for it, finally got the wind deflectors (vindavvisare) which i was looking for almost 2 years :) and some new door-handles, which will give the car a clean white look :)

...is still quite hard. and i'm talking about trim parts or stuff like that. it took almost a half year to get thos wood-panels for the dashboard. another year for the reflexramp, which i found new over here on ebay. that was the most suprising found i have to say. i was also lokking fo the armrest...which i bought in the u.s. after a long search...
so most people say, that blocket.se, tradera or bildeslbasen would an option if its about parts for my brick. but if your not from sweden or any other scandinavian country its almost impossible to buy stuff via those sites. for example my "vindavvisare-story" ;) what you must know is, that even i'm from germany and writing here in english, i can speak quite good danish, can write okay in swedish an can read swedish without major problems. anyways, i'm pretty sure that you would agree, that it is easy to find vindavvisare on blocket. an off course i did. i think i tried around 10 times to buy them. i always wrote in swedish, offered all shipping costs but every time the sellers refused to sell me the parts. same story with the träinlägg for the dash...after 6 months i finally found ole from göteborg - he just said "yes! no problem!" why is that? as i said, the reflexramp was on german ebay, and i was the lucky winner (dont ask about the price really!). so what about tradera? i think i found every part i was looking for the last months on tradera. cool thing. so i finally got my account there...and found out, that bidders outside scandinavia are forbidden....hahahahaha.
btw, germany scrapyards are filled with golfs and passats and ford and what not. i'm checkin our scrapyard quite often, and in the last 12 month only three bricks have been there. most suprising was a blue 740 from sweden, packed with rare parts (chromeparts and the myntfack!). i tried to get as much as possible...maybe some german 740 enthusiast is interestet ;)
cheers and hejdå

btw: still sökes träinlägg till dörar och vindavvsare....;)
