swapping the v50 engine into the white c30 and hope for the best. v50 ran fine before pulling. ive never had a blown head gasket on any 5 cyl volvo i have ever owned. its disheartening. by @cyonosaurus

bay swapped all three. none drive. FJ pushed. no, theres no video evidence. V50 fully stripped. white C30 blown head gasket. black C30 finally getting boost tubes... sorry for slow updates. by @cyonosaurus

the no.13 225100 twin prong tool removes the pins with little effort. but dont forget to pull the purple locking clip inside first. lest you lose your mind for 10 mins like me... by @cyonosaurus

for the first time in my life i can work on the wire harness in AC controlled comfort and not laid 200 degree back bent under a dash, half way in gravel and dirt; eaten alive by mosquitoes in a dimly lit dungeon sweating my life away. and internet access means not guessing at the wire repair. we have come a long way... by @cyonosaurus

was able to find some decent .stl files of BBS LM wheels as well as the C30 itself. no more guess work walking back and forth to the garage to try to get measurements. maybe even try my hand at creating surface lofts for fender flares. by @cyonosaurus

without a 3D scanner on hand, an attempt was made to build a 2D composite image with references to align a 3D prototype in CAD. mixed results. the new path utilizes the empty space of a relocated coolant fill tank on the passenger side and routes to the existing fresh air port. in hoping to reuse some of the existing intake plumbing it might all be garbage. by @cyonosaurus
