'93 engine bay - I need an original reference photo or a restored engine bay as a reference

[DME]

My '93 engine bay is clean AF (compared to other vintage Swedish and German junk I have owned) and I am in the process of buying decals to replace missing/torn/worn ones. Anyone have a pic I can use as a reference? Fan warning location, oil cap/filler neck (never seen this on a car, but the decals exist), etc etc.

Here's where it sits now:

Try to find publicity photos of the engine when new. Maybe something in the original brochures? I can take a picture of my 93 but it's got 30 years of salt and wear on everything.

Here's the one I just bought in July from a shop owner who acquired it from the original owner(s)/family. Totally stock. Non-ABS which is weird, 8/92 assembly date, definitely a '93 by the VIN, and the VIN came up in Volvo's system as '93 245 when I needed a new key cut, so it seems to just be an oddball that got no ABS. Let me know if you want any other angles or close ups.

This is great, thanks. Wasn't there an orange fan warning also? Nearish where the vac diagram is?

Incidentally mine is a single owner from new. It had the same cosmoline (I think that's what it was) in the same place as you have (more actually) and acetone took it right off.

No. The fan warning label was last used before 1990. Both of these are completely stock 1993 240s as delivered from the factory. Only US market 240s had ABS on them as standard equipment. Notice that one of these 93s has the PAL fuse set up and the other 93 does not.

All these pretty engine bays. I'm not posting a picture of my 445k mile brined by the winter engine bay. Although for the weather abuse it's had it doesn't look horrid.

I'm lucky to live where I live. Rust, what's that? I was just talking about that with another member here that stopped by yesterday. His 2003 Chevrolet tow rig is from back east. The rockers were rotted out, the spring shackles are ready to break, etc. He already bought an almost identical replacement from somewhere that the vehicles don't get eaten up by road chemicals. Both of the 240s in the pics above are CA, OR, WA cars.
