NPoCP: De-modding a Volvo

Illustration for article titled NPoCP: De-modding a Volvo

1997 850R T5/manual. High miles (275,000), and it looks badly modded. $3,300 obo. Pros: It’s red, it’s a wagon, it’s an “R” and it’s manual. Cons: practically everything else. The original steering wheel and airbag are gone, there are gauges screwed to the top of the dash, etc. How finnicky are these things electronically? Could I get a steering wheel/airbag/clockspring from the ‘yard and expect the system to regain functionality?

I think I’ll just keep looking.
