Hi Ricardo..

I see what you mean.. I´t looks like it´s bent on the foto, but it is not for real, it´s the picture..

Cheers

its the easy bit now!

You mean the lip the bumper sits on slopes down at each end ? Funnily enough my original front panel is exactly the same.

No Pete, my car is like that too.
I meant the top part, the bit where the body number is attached to. Glad it is an optical illusion, it would've been hard to put it straight without any damages to the paint work.

You've worked your socks off to get to this point. Looks stunning. Enjoy from here

Common on some digi cams with wide angle or telephoto lens its called
barrel distortion.
Barrel distortion causes all straight lines to bend inwards. A straight line in the very center of the image will not be distorted, but straight lines that are at the edges will tend to curve inwards from the corners.
Great work, René

Thanks

Got started on the loom in the car, also with fuse and controlbox...

How / where did you find a flasher relay, with the correct date ?

I asume its NOS = looks like it


Read somewhere that the metal, on your fusebox will clean up nicely, if you soak it, in clean fluid from Lemon,s

I saw a guy on the Volvo forum, who restored his fusebox this way, it came out like new.

Fantastic! I'm still waiting for my Autosparks Loom with the longer control box wires. I'm told it will be finished this week. Should look just like yours.

Great work.. you are on the fun stage.
