All weatherstripping on ‘for good’ now.
Exterior M trim installed.
Doors installed, shimmed, fitted, etc. Done. That was a chore.
Side windows cleaned and installed.
... Uhmm, well - I’m running out of excuses to not start, drive, dyno.
I need to put hatchback on - need help for that.
Do another oil change.
Remedy serpentine belt alignment issues.
Get wife’s help to “pump-pump-hold” for another brake bleed.
Fuel sta-bil.
De-fuel cold start.
Etc...

Each caliper on this car has two bleeder valves - 6 piston front calipers, 4 piston rears - so I have to open two valves at once.
We already bled system last Nov before my brief test drive... but I found two custom brake lines that were made failed - those have been replaced - just a bleed on front m/c is all that’s needed actually... and I must re-ensure my line-lock works - as it’ll be my e-brake when parked but idling motor...

I used my Motive to prime my crate LS3 before it went in too. I think Motive recommends isopropyl alcohol for cleaning before recharging with brake fluid. Full of motor oil....

The Volvo OEM brakes had the famous dual-diagonal circuits -- 3 bleeders on each dual piston front caliper and 1 on the single piston rears. 8 in total - and the proper order of bleed had you moving from front to back repeatedly. All made easier with the Motive. Which keeps 10-12 psig on the reservoir and you never have worry about topping it off.
