Finally got round to replacing the rear springs, as I found this was quite challenging due to the design of the rear subframe on the S80.
Without a Youtube video and a certain spring compressor, it would be impossible to complete this task.
The ride has transformed, the rear is much tighter and also a bit lower (what I wanted). Happy days!

My wife's daily driver of seven years was recently diagnosed with a rusted subframe. It was a repair that we could have afforded, but at almost fifteen years old--and also having spent almost all of that time (we presume) in the midwest--the entire car is slowly turning to rust and it is not worth our time to get it repaired.
We had decided that we would try and sell the car on Craigslist, so we spent some time cleaning the car and getting it ready. Today was going to be the final push, getting it washed and taking photos of it and making up a listing. We washed the car at home, then decided to take it to Marathon to vacuum it out before finding a parking lot to take photos in. Even from the house to the gas station, the car was acting incredibly janky, and by the time we got it to our chosen parking lot and started taking photos of it, it wasn't long before we gave up--and decided to junk the car.
We drove it home and called Victory Auto Wreckers, who will be coming to tow it away tomorrow. Here are some photos of the beloved Cavalier for posterity's sake.

From Wikipedia:
Gamma Cassiopeiae, Latinized from γ Cassiopeiae, is a star at the center of the distinctive "W" asterism in the northern circumpolar constellation of Cassiopeia. Although it is a fairly bright star with an apparent visual magnitude that varies from 1.6 to 3.0, it has no traditional Arabic or Latin name. It sometimes goes by the informal name Navi.
Gamma Cassiopeiae is a Be star, a variable star, and a binary star system. Based upon parallax measurements made by the Hipparcos satellite, it is located at a distance of roughly 550 light-years from Earth.
Gamma Cassiopeiae is an eruptive variable star, whose apparent magnitude changes irregularly between +1.6 and +3.0. It is the prototype of the class of Gamma Cassiopeiae variable stars. In the late 1930s it underwent what is described as a shell episode and the brightness increased to above magnitude +2.0, then dropped rapidly to +3.4. It has since been gradually brightening back to around +2.2. At maximum intensity, γ Cassiopeiae outshines both α Cassiopeiae (magnitude +2.25) and β Cassiopeiae (magnitude +2.3).
Gamma Cassiopeiae is a rapidly spinning star with a projected rotational velocity of 472 km s−1, giving it a pronounced equatorial bulge. When combined with the star's high luminosity, the result is the ejection of matter that forms a hot circumstellar disk of gas. The emissions and brightness variations are apparently caused by this "decretion disk".
The spectrum of this massive star matches a stellar classification of B0.5 IVe. A luminosity class of IV identifies it as a subgiant star that has reached a stage of its evolution where it is exhausting the supply of hydrogen in its core region and transforming into a giant star. The 'e' suffix is used for stars that show emission lines of hydrogen in the spectrum, caused in this case by the circumstellar disk. This places it among a category known as Be stars; in fact, the first such star ever to be so designated. It has 17 times the Sun's mass and is radiating as much energy as 34,000 Suns. At this rate of emission, the star has reached the end of its life as a late O-type main sequence star after a relatively brief 8 million years. The outer atmosphere has an intense effective temperature of 25,000 K, which is causing it to glow with a blue-white hue.
Gamma Cassiopeiae is the prototype of a small group of stellar sources of X-ray radiation that is about 10 times stronger than emitted from other B or Be stars. The character of the X-ray spectrum is Be thermal, possibly emitted from plasmas of temperatures up to least ten million kelvins, and shows very short term and long-term cycles. Historically, it has been held that these X-rays might be excited by matter originating from the star, from a hot wind or a disk around the star, accreting onto the surface of a degenerate companion, such as a white dwarf or neutron star. However, there are difficulties with either of these hypotheses. For example, it is not clear that enough matter can be accreted by a white dwarf, at the distance of the purported secondary star implied by the orbital period, sufficient to power an X-ray emission of nearly 1033 erg/s or 100 YW. A neutron star could easily power this X-ray flux, but X-ray emission from neutron stars is known to be non-thermal, and thus in apparent variance with the spectral properties.
Evidence suggests that the X-rays may be associated with the Be star itself or caused by some complex interaction between the star and surrounding decretion disk. One line of evidence is that the X-ray production is known to vary on both short and long time scales with respect to various UV line and continuum changes associated with a B star or with circumstellar matter close to the star. Moreover, the X-ray emissions exhibit long-term cycles that correlate with the light curves in the visible wavelengths.
Gamma Cassiopeiae exhibits characteristics consistent with a strong disordered magnetic field. No field can be measured directly from the Zeeman effect because of the star's rotation-broadened spectral lines. Instead, the presence of this field is inferred from a robust periodic signal of 1.21 days that suggests a magnetic field rooted on the rotating star's surface. The star's UV and optical spectral lines show ripples moving from blue to red over several hours, which indicates clouds of matter being held frozen over the star's surface by strong magnetic fields. This evidence suggests that a magnetic field from the star is interacting with the decretion disk, resulting in the X-ray emission. A disk dynamo has been advanced as a mechanism to explain this modulation of the X-rays. However, difficulties remain with this mechanism, among which is that there are no disk dynamos known to exist in other stars, rendering this behavior more difficult to analyze.
Gamma Cassiopeiae has two faint optical companions, listed in double star catalogues as components B and C. Star B is about 2 arc seconds distant and magnitude 11, and has a similar space velocity to the bright primary. Component C is magnitude 13, nearly an arc second distant.
Gamma Cassiopeiae A, the bright primary, is itself a spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of about 203.5 days and an eccentricity alternately reported as 0.26 and "near zero." The mass of the companion is believed to be about that of the Sun, but its nature is unclear. It has been proposed that it is a degenerate star or a hot helium star, but it seems unlikely that it is a normal star. Therefore, it is likely to be more evolved than the primary and to have transferred mass to it during an earlier stage of evolution.
The Chinese name Tsih, "the whip" (Chinese: ç–; pinyin: cè), is commonly associated with this star. The name however originally referred to Kappa Cassiopeiae, and Gamma Cassiopeiae was just one of four horses pulling the chariot of legendary charioteer Wangliang. This representation was later changed to make Gamma the whip.
The star was used as an easily identifiable navigational reference point during space missions and American astronaut Virgil Ivan "Gus" Grissom nicknamed the star Navi after his own middle name spelled backwards.

Now that I own an intervalometer, it's much easier to take lots of subframes over a long period of time (in fact, now I can do it while I'm on the couch watching TV). So I figured I would try "going deep" and see if I could image some galaxies - and why not, with Leo and Virgo high overhead this time of year?
I constructed this image over a period of several nights, as I'm a bit new to this type of astrophotography, and it took me some time to get proper flat and bias frames and get them all blended properly. I don't know who the first guy was to figure out the whys and hows of stacking, dark frames, flat frames, and bias frames, but he must've been a pretty smart guy. If you do this right, then camera-induced noise and artefacts are drastically reduced. One of the goals I had in making this image (besides making a nice image) was to see if it's actually possible to image dim objects like this with an Alt/Az mount (i.e., my Nexstar 8). It was very pleasing to know that it's possible - this really opens up the sky for me and my less-than-optimal equipment.
So here's the result... this image shows M65 & M66 in Leo. M65 (right) is a type Sa spiral galaxy, and as can be seen in this image, has a prominent dust lane and is close to being edge-on. M66 (left) is a type Sb spiral, and as can be seen here, has a prominent central bar, widely separated arms, and many clumps of dust. Both of these galaxies are about 36 million ly away.
I find it incredible that these "island universes", containing billions of stars, are so small and dim that it's a challenge to see and image them. No doubt there are guys up there trying to do the same thing with the Milky Way right now.

"Fitting the cab, grille and wiring to the subframe"
This issue is an important stage in the assembly process as the cab is fitted to the subframe. The first part of the lower deck flooring is also supplied.
Although the front part of the lower deck floor was supplied with this issue, it is not yet fitted to the bus. This overhead view shows it in place, but not screwed down. The 30cm ruler gives an idea of size!
Test assembly of the major components of the rear subframe. The rear suspension and wheels will be bolted to this. The hole is for the rocket.
