Had a great project roll into the shop today: 2006 Volvo S40, T5 trim AWD with a 6-speed MANUAL. Not that it matters much, but this is a RARE beast in the Volvo world.
The clutch is shot on it, but it's only got 130k on the clock. Book time is 8.9 hours, plus about $700 worth of clutch kit and new flywheel. I don't have the time to take it on, but maybe someone here would? I can't promise anything, but I know the owner has no interest in fixing it and it could make for a great quarantine project! If there's anyone in the Minneapolis area, I could try and get more information. Again, no guarantees, but it's much too nice of a car to let go, especially given it's rarity.
*Edit* I didn't post this in the "For Sale" section because it was more an observation of a cool, strange car than a sales pitch. I hope I didn't violate and rules by inviting members to step forward and save a neat vehicle!
