Hi,
I caught the Volvo bug earlier this year with a 1998 C70 that I brought back to full health and have been very much enjoying.
When this came up I couldn't really pass it by. It's very much off the road as it has been sitting a long time, but it did start, drive and stop.
Being in Scotland, it has a lot of rust, but I will be chopping out and replacing where necessary.
It needs sills, a bit of A pillar, some work on the bulkhead, a bit here and there on the chassis rails and the rear arches.
I've started on the A pillar.
Onto the sills now.
Does anyone know if there is anyone in Scotland that holds stock of repair panels such as sills? Typically the postage is more than the item itself so picking it up in my van would save a lot of money.
Failing that has anyone used repair panels from Brookhouse before, and can comment on how well they match up?
One more question. I haven't touched the chassis rails yet, does anyone know what gauge of steel is used at the rail ends?
