Hi folks,

Posted over on the newbie thread but thought it best to show face here too... since I posted there though, the long road back to road worthiness is creeping closer!

Bit of background; new 17.3.83, owned by some people (no logbook yet) then nosed into a lockup in January 1997 and left to die. My neighbour works in one of the local car breakers and knowing my penchant for Volvos - this is my eighth - phoned me when we went to collect it. Pictures were seen, a deal was struck and it was deposited at my place of work in mid-November. Unfortunately some bad news came and it sat for a few weeks but Sunday past seen me manage to get a tune out of the old thing and get it over the pit for inspection. A few crusty bits topside (battery tray, bottom of the offside B-pillar and some blebs on the sills) but underneath seems pretty solid so should be a fairly straightforward (famous last words) recommissioning.

Some pictures from my phone as I've not managed to get any off the camera yet.


Cheers

Andy

While I remember MY83 was the last year they had quarterlights in the front doors. Not sure that makes too much difference to the door shells, but then again it might.

seems like a to me=)
nice car.

Well done for getting it back on the road again
