Ah yes, I remember helping a friend replace the frequently failing camshafts
on this beast.  Volvo's service kit actually included a hole saw and
template for drilling through the firewall to remove the cams through the
interior of the car.  And plugs for the holes when you were through.  It was
experiences like this that make working on a 100K audi 3B so gratifying:
It's hardly worn internally.

BTW, not Bricklin, I think, but DeLorean.  (Ahh, trivia)
