For my dad's birthday I asked to borrow his 928 so I could do some maintenance on it for him, like oil change and MBS fix. But little did he know I had a bonus up my sleeve...

I found this really sleek looking VDO clock in a Volvo at the junk yard. Of course, it didn't work, so I replaced a blown resistor (and the two capacitors just for good measure) and it works nicely now. Then I popped out the clock trim piece and removed the LCD clock. Let me just say, that LCD clock is cheesy.

It took some crafty modding, and some scrounging in the garage, but it came together nicely. I'm really happy with it. More importantly, Dad likes it! It only cost me about $10! (And a day of work )... Sorry for the poor cellphone pic, if I can I'll take a better pic, which shows the clock itself.

Maybe it's just the picture, but that looks very aftermarket to me. It looks like you did a very nice job on the install, but the clock doesn't appear to fit.

That's a nice way to put it.

if you borrowed my 928 and did that without telling me I would have you horse whipped!

Hope your dad likes it (for your sake)!

My wife borrowed my car (not the 928) while I was in Colorado and her dog vomited in it.

No offense, but if you think the LCD is cheesy, what would you call that Volvo clock???

My Mama always told me if you can't think of something nice to say................awww f&^k it, that looks like one of those stick on clocks they sell at the car wash. Sorry.

Hard to tell from the photo how it actually looks. Maybe you can take a frontal picture.

Looks good. If you can't say something nice......

Guy spent the day doing it, if you don't like move on, nothing to see here. That's why there is Chocolate and Vanilla.

He wanted feedback, he got it.

Hit the thenthitivity trail, Jack Handy.

hinchcliffe

I didn't think he asked for feedback, just wanted to show what he did with his spare time.

I prefer to do other things, but to each their own, right? I see no reason in putting down his choice.

I'm not saying anything.

Dads are the coolest because no matter what you get or do for them, they appreciate it almost as much a moms. It's a good thing you didn't do this to your older brother's car.

Ironically, that clock looks similar to my soon to be setup
