Quick update! I finally received the Volvo electric power steering pump I ordered a few weeks back. Hopefully by June I will have functioning power steering. As the engine bay is pretty full, I have been debating putting it either under the cowl or in the trunk (near the intercooler pump/reservoir). Has anyone has any issues with having the pump mounted 10-15 feet away from the steering box? Also, Last weekend it got painted finally. The color is summit single stage called grape jelly pearl with a UV blue candy added. The pictures really don't show the color very well, a lot of the blue isn't visible. In the shade, its very close to "grape jelly" a real dark purple. In the sun, it turns to a vibrant purple with a bright blue tinge. My gf picked the color and I couldn't be happier. It needs a wetsand and buff but looks pretty good. Finally, I ordered square set of 255/40r17 Federal ss595 tires along with new wheels. Wheels are 17x9 front and 17x10.5 rear. I should have them by the weekend if Fedex wants to cooperate
