Yes the car is bad but its been repaired in the way I would have expected it to have been over the years.
I remember my parents 80's 240 and my dad repairing rust holes with chicken wire and filler as well as bean cans for the exhaust. Can this be repaired, I dont see why not its just going to take awhile to fabricate panels where they are needed. I do also have the Amazon... thats my other project that has not been finished yet due to not having space for it where I was previously living. I finally managed to get it to my current house last year and have done a bit of work on it but the 240 now takes priority as its sat on the driveway. Edit: Was also impressed you linked the car to the registration. Last edited by Jackman; Apr 27th, 2023 at 20:14. |

keep us posted, either in videos or on here. I may stray from this group from time to time but I tend to come back to the threads that niggle at me. |

https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showp...postcount=4706 ... einfach. Re: The Amazon. I enjoyed reading the thread, it was cantering along at a good pace until it stopped dead in 2014. I was really impressed by what you had done - I think I'd have scrapped the motor car long before then. Here is a link to Great Aunt Maud's journal thread in case you fancy some light reading: https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=322606 ... it does go on a bit. Re: The 244. Of course it can be fixed. You know it makes no sense of course, it would be far more efficient to buy a better motor car . Good fortune, Alan

There is now another update on the Rustberg. I've been working on the wheel well. I am further ahead than this video but there is alot of work required to fix this car. |

Same rusty bits in the rear windows as mine.
I dealt with them, of course. I wouldn't have saved a car as bad as the Rustburg though, I don't have the facilities! or the faculties to be honest.
