The Full Banana

Psh, non-insulated crimps with high-quality adhesive lined heat shrink over the crimps is the way to go. Insulated connectors are for the birds. Nice work, Gabe! Looks great.

If you wanted to run with it and needed additional logo, branding collateral work, I could potentially be interested in working out some sort of trade for some waterjet, CNC, etc time... Just to throw that out there. You are rather conveniently just down the road from me. 

Long week and needed a mindless break. Just for fun.

I had the same problem on my e90, and it ended up being an oring on the passenger headlight washer nozzle. 

One down. Marked some guidelines for the mount.

Cut it out. Then cut a patch piece and used the mount cut out from the car for some guidelines on the patch. Cut off the actual mount and welded it on to the new metal.

And then welded that into the car. 



 
Coated the seams with seam sealer and then will do the same as the footwells and coat it with Por15. 

Looks like they've designed them to enhance snap oversteer for additional ditch trajectory.

I got all the holes patched and sealed with seam sealer. Next I’ll paint the floors with Por15 to protect everything and do the same on the patches on the outside.
Then need to replace the heater core, put down new sound deadening, dye the carpets and the interior can go back together. 

So, I sold the e34 touring and bought a Volvo!  Pretty excited, it seems like a great car so far. I refuse to buy a Wisconsin car, so I had it shipped from Portland, OR. It was a Denver car for 1 year, then a California car for the rest of its life (no rust!)
2005 Volvo V50, 2.5t AWD 6-speed Manual, Passion Red w/dark grey interior
Options: Premium audio, Bixenon headlights, heated seats, aftermarket tow hitch, factory tint
The drivetrain is a pretty rare combo, and the m66 trans is very robust. I looked for a long time for an AWD/turbo/manual Volvo and missed a couple that were out of state because they got snapped up right away. I considered v70s and v70Rs, and xc70s as well, but I'm happy I landed on this one. I also looked at small trucks but they did nothing for me - I'm really just a wagon guy.  The fiance is happy for the red color, because it looks a lot less like an old man car. 😂 It will be a great Wisconsin winter vehicle.
I have not taken any good photos yet, as she is under the knife and in a few pieces and not registered yet.

Volvo fans may call this 'not a real Volvo' because the P1 chassis platform was a joint Ford effort and is shared by the Focus and Mazda3. I agree that it doesn't have the better old boxy Volvo look, but it actually handles well, has a turbo, and its a wagon, so its good enough for me.
Plans
Remove drug dealer window tint
Remove fading/failing clear vinyl bra on hood, fenders, bumper, side mirrors.
Remove hack-job aftermarket trailer wiring, install factory trailer wiring
Snow tires on factory wheels
Add Yakima roof rack bars
Repaint/dye all the black trim
Polish headlight plastic and upgrade the bixenon headlights to better projectors.
Add factory rear spoiler
Add AUX input or Bluetooth
'Stage 0' tune up
Flush Haldex unit and rear diff, install 1/8 NPT drain plugs
Purchase OBDII scanner
Resist urge to modify the engine
 
I'd also like to thank resident Volvo expert Tom for his invaluable advice!
