Fantastic work! I'm afraid with the amount of rust I would of scrapped it, as haven't the welding skills or location where I could try. Looking forward to the end result.

The small green carpet didn't just appear there, there's definitely been a cosy habitat built there!
A big chunk more today. Outrigger fully welded on. ![]() Floor repaired. ![]() And all the way back. ![]() Inner sill complete. ![]() ![]() Next job will be the sill at the jacking point, welding the outer sill on, then fixing the rear arch. ![]() And that will be the welding done! |

It's nice having a non rusty car. Still a few jobs to get this back on the road.
First a clearout. Hired a skip and got rids of lots of junk. Cleaning under the volvo was enjoyable. ![]() A tin of dynax was emptied into every cavity. ![]() Floors painted. ![]() Repairs painted then undersealed. ![]() Suspension cleanup. ![]() Bushes removed. ![]() ![]() ![]() Stripping. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I'm having a bit of trouble sourcing a front windscreen. Local companies don't do one, a new one from Skandix is in the region of £600 delivered. Becoming an issue now. |
