The turbo is one step closer to getting registered. I will paint it a matching green eventually...

Now I only need to fix the horn not working. The horn itself works, and the fuse is fine - the steering wheel button is borked, I think. I’ll have to find the wiring diagram.

Kinja'd!!!

How you doin’ , Oppo?

I dig the two tone. 90's cars pulled it off so well.

Can you wire a multimeter to the steering wheel button? It can tell you if it works or not.

Still missing the longroof life or are you set on keeping the turbo sedan? Volvo is looking mighty clean and honestly that bumper doesn’t look terrible in a clashing color.

I’m doing okay but will be quite busy today. It’s been quite a beautiful few weeks here in central Georgia, USA at least.

I have a multimeter but not the thin and long Torx tools to open the steering wheel assembly :/ I only have a torx bit for a ratchet or hand-drill but it won’t reach the bolt...

I’ll find one to borrow or buy it during the week and get back into it next weekend.

Beautiful here, too! It’s the best Fall has to offer, but I’m bracing for the long bleak winter months.

I’m leaning towards keeping the sedan for a bit, since I got pretty hooked on the choo-choo sounds. And it’s fast and luxurious for someone who had a lowly Twingo 7 months ago. I’m missing the open-top Twingo more than the longroof, since the wagon was with me for only a few months, I haven’t had time to get TOO attached to it, thankfully.

TL;DR I like turbo, turbo fast.

Winter is coming, eh? I’m not exactly looking forward to the “cold” weather we get here since it’s supposed to be a colder than average winter (last year’s was unseasonably warm).

Canvas sunroof life must be hard to give up. I can’t think of a single car besides the 500 that had such a feature in the US market in recent years.

A Volvo sedan definitely is fast and luxurious compared to a Twingo. The turbo 5 is a lovely engine that makes some unusual but endearing noises.
