Welcome back, I'd make sure the service is up to date before spending on paint especially the cambelt as if it goes on a whiteblock it's not a cheap easy fix like a redblock.
The door cards are caused by the glue failing, I've not done any repairs myself so can't advise on that one sorry, looking forward to updates. |

That looks a nice car in a nice colour. Well done!
The door cards are notoriously hard to repair. You will probably find the material has stretched making it very hard to get it taut and looking good. Some folk have reported a degree of success injecting glue and using gentle heat. In the past people have produced solutions to cover up the damage. For example, now discontinued: https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...ScqxZ73Pr9ANdF The best/easiest solution is to find a breaker with good door cards and swap them. Volvo changed the glue on later cars and they are less likely to fail. |

Cam belt and water pump should be the first item on the to do list if the history is not know
Door cards are a common issue with the glue letting go. Best option is a stick on pad over the top |

That's a nice looking barge! Wheels don't look too bad?
Who'll you use for the paintwork?
