Great looking car even today in a timeless boxy wagon with modern twist way.
Can see why they didn't sell too many of them though!
But then an E-class wagon with 4cyl or a 5 series was 100k, so this was a bargain in 1996 ?
DCW’s 960 wagon
Thanks, I always liked the styling of the wagon. Great to know the price, I've found a few price lists from Volvo Australia in the mid 90s but the 960 wagon isn't listed. I'm picking up a 1984 BMW 735i soon, which has power memory seats, I can't imagine that was cheap.
The beemer will be grest
One boss i had drove one, we went out to s meeting one day, boy it had some poke!
Loved the trick of the windows open 5mm at unlock then up when all doors shut to allow for perfect cabin air seal that would hinder shutting.
DCW242Thanks. I fitted a transmission cooler a few days ago.

What for? The 30-40 has active cooling management and hardly even gets warm.... just make sure to flush it with full syn fluid

Mostly for towing, also so I can fit a custom radiator without built in cooler.
Thanks to @Ghettobird and @priacrow I now have a tow bar, I cleaned it up today and fitted it with a new tow ball.
The colour really suits the 960, once cleaned up it will be a great looking car to cruise around it (as it is, it looks pretty good already!)

I got this cargo cover from the UK today, luckily I already had a fitting kit.
You going to leave the stereo stock or upgrade it to something modern?

I'm going to fit the genuine amp, I have one from a P80. I'll also fit a Bluetooth module that plugs into the CD stacker connection.
The Autodoc order with front shocks, mirror glass and transmission mount finally showed up after 5 weeks. I now have all the parts to do the front suspension. But the package was fairly damaged and one of the mirror lenses got broken. I was able to fix the passenger mirror though.
Wow that's a serious packaging and/or handling fail!

Agreed. But the intact bits look very nice.
Needs more lowers and Bilstein HD and Deep dish 17's
I did the shocks, strut tops and control arm bushes today.

I replaced the front sway bar end links today, hopefully this fixes the knock in the front. sway bar bushes are next, I've ordered superpro poly ones but they haven't showed up yet.

The superpro front sway bar bushes finally showed up, I fitted them today.
Slightly less worn....
How much better is the suspension now?
The knock is gone now which is nice, it use to knock heaps, even on a smooth road. Handling seems to have improved slightly.
