Volvo Wagon, 1991?

On topic:Yesterday I installed 8 LED lights in interior stock locations. Now I can see inside without a shop light.
Cleaned all the sand out of engine bay and interior. It still cleans up nice...

Penetrating fluid and a large breaker bar or pipe is what is needed for that front leafspring bolt. The handle from a hi-lift jack works great.

That's a recipe for breaking it possibly, apply torch to bolt head till it's red hot.
