Hi all,

This is my 1992 Volvo 240. The wheels are recently powder coated and I'm very happy with the look. Now searching the center caps, but they are nowhere the be found. These are original Volvo Fornax wheels with catalog number 9134007. The hubcaps should be 9134011.

Anyone got any tips or suggestions to make it look complete?

Thanks!

Volvo 940, B200FT.
It's finally time to change the rear parts of the exhaust. I want something similar to stock, nothing too loud.
Simmons pops up everywhere, but I read that it won't really last that long. Does anyone here have any experience with this brand?
And what about Ferrita or Martelius?

Help My 1965 Volvo Broke Down Right After Import Expo… 😭

My 1965 Volvo made it to ImportExpo… then broke down on the way home. 😅
I finally got my 1965 Volvo PV544 out to ImportExpo, and the car got a lot of attention. Everything seemed fine during the show, but on the drive home the charging system decided it had enough.
The battery light came on, voltage dropped, and now I’m trying to figure out whether it’s the Bosch generator itself or the external voltage regulator that’s causing the problem.
I’m leaning toward converting it to an alternator eventually for reliability, but part of me also wants to keep the original charging system if it’s an easy fix.
Has anyone here dealt with these old Volvo charging systems before?
Did your Bosch generator fail?
Was it just the voltage regulator?
If you converted to an alternator, was it worth giving up the originality?
I’d love to hear your experiences before I start throwing parts at it.
