Rescuing my Volvo after 3 years parked

[jbg]

Hi again.

Wow, it's been another 3 years! The forum tells me I last logged in today, 03-31-2020. The car is in the same situation as it was before. But this time I have 2 plastic bins full of tools and fluids, a FSM, and (possibly) a helper. The plan is the same as before, get the hood open, take an inventory, check fluids, bar the engine over, replace the battery, etc.

What can I say, life has been very hectic! Good but hectic. So before the Mid Atlantic summer humidity comes over us I'd like to get the 740 home. I'll be installing a used gantry crane in my garage this summer and I'd still like to pull the engine and fix all the things that were annoying me when I was driving it.

I'll report back how tomorrow goes. I'll likely be back there the next week too.
