		<description><![CDATA[I've had many requests for the plans I used to "fix" (i.e., replace the guts of) the Smiths clock in my 1800 last year. I'm really not trying to hide secrets, but honestly, there are two reasons I haven't unveiled the steps I took:

I didn't really follow steps so much as "smash a bunch of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A couple of notes for those considering replacing their side mirrors on the Volvo 1800: It takes at least an hour to do it right, and you'll need some pretty small hands.
About three months after I brought my 1800 home, I discovered my rear-view mirror &#8212; broken at its base &#8212; lying on the hood [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I first brought my Volvo 1800E home last year, I had every intention of logging every step of its restoration in a small yellow notebook I carried with me whenever I drove the car.  Of course, the reality of everyday driving eventually put an end to this noble experiment, but I recently uncovered [...]]]></description>
