Made it to Portland. Made it back but not with out issues. The exhaust blew up on the way home.
Over 100 miles with open exhaust! Not cool!
Thing has no O/D so 70 MPH it's winding pretty high.
Had to stop and get a beer. Overall a good time.
Took it apart and have it ready to weld up.
Always something.....

So the maiden voyage was not boring... That's a good sign.
Is the need enough? Or does the want suffice?

The Volvo has a new owner. Young kid made me a good offer and that was that. My dreams of it being a DD just didn't agree with my arthritis. Wouldn't you know my left ankle is the worst. Stick with auto for now. Just figured I would update. If I can figure out how to resize on my phone I'll add a pic or two.

Sorry to hear it's gone, but at least you gave it new life.
