Volvo 850 Restoration - Trunk Interior, Tailgate Lock And Small Tasks

Finally time to reinstall the trunk interior in our Volvo 850. We also took a closer look at the reason why the tailgate lock isn’t working, cleaned and secured the seatbelts and finished some small remaining tasks on the interior. And apparently a cabin air filter was an option on the Volvo 850 as we found out when we wanted to change that filter.

- Project’s Background Story -
On February 21 ’09 our dad bought this ’96 Volvo 850 2.5L 20V estate. The Volvo has a big emotional value for us and seeing the car sitting still for so many years and watching nature taking over broke our hearts. After nine years, and sitting outside for 7 of those 9 years, we finally got our hands on the 850 and brought it back to its home where we will restore it to its former glory. Once we finish the restoration, we intend to make a road trip and keep in the family for many more years to come.
